Special thanks to the newly appointed Tower Master Sergeant Lottie1001 for choosing this inspiring pair of songs:
BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMFj8uDubsE
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
TURN, TURN, TURN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4
To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

The rules:
- Quotes must be full, exact words.
- You may change punctuation and capitalization and you can work across lines.
- Each title may be used only once for credit, but titles can overlap or you could even use a subset of a title already used.
- You can use any category or quiz format. You could even make a crossword if you want.
- You can participate via team and co-authored quizzes, but you need to submit a total of SEVEN questions over one or more quizzes to qualify for the badge (if two people want to evenly split a 15Q quiz, go ahead!). Or author one crossword, those don't have multi-author options.
- The challenge will be judged like any other title-based challenge, so your title must reasonably fit the quiz. This call is (as always) made by the editor who places your quiz online.
And, because it's all about , there's again a community challenge involved in this - it's about fully completing both songs. Repeated lines or phrases of course need to be covered only once. (I removed multiple instances of the chorus so we'll get a more exact progress count)
Conjunctions, articles and so on are free.
It's strongly recommended (but not required) that you claim your title before writing just to make sure no one else will use the same title. And please, before you write, check that you're not duplicating something another author is already working on.
The challenge is open until the end of the year - you must make a first submit within 2024. You can of course do more than one title if you wish to help with the community aspect, but there's no tiers on this - you get it for one quiz just the same as for ten.
And the badge you can earn looks something like this:

Master Sergeant Lottie reporting for duty. Titles claimed so far:- A time for every purpose under Heaven – Rowena8482 A Time of Peace – ponycargirl A time of war – misstified A time to be born, a time to die – Gispepfu A Time to Dance, A Time to Mourn – Kankurette A time to kill, a time to heal- lordprescott A time to reap – 1nn1 A time to sew – Midget40 A time you may embrace – Wes How many roads must a man walk down – KayceeKool How Many Seas – LadyNym That too many people have died – misstified There is a season – zorba_scank Turn, turn, turn – looney_tunes Yes, and – spanishliz I've included both the titles you claimed, misstified, but Wes will rule on whether you may claim more than one at a time. I don't think we did last year, but I think that might have happened the year before. Reply #21. Jan 25 24, 5:45 PM |

I'd like to claim "how many years can a mountain exist", please! Reply #22. Jan 25 24, 7:52 PM |

I have a plan for "Blowin' In The Wind". Reply #23. Jan 26 24, 3:50 AM |

Woo hoo, Lottie! It's good to see that there will be another year of order and calm where there would otherwise be confusion and chaos without your skills. ;) Thanks! Reply #24. Jan 26 24, 7:28 AM |

Thank you for the kind words - I'll do my best. Reply #25. Jan 26 24, 8:06 AM |

Thanks for including my second choice above Lottie but it's fine if someone else would like to claim the same title. I've had an idea and will write the quiz in any case and it doesn't really matter what the title is. To add to lordprescott's comment, I'm very happy with your choice of songs. I'm trying to do 2 quizzes in each category but have been completely stuck on thinking of history ones. A song with 'time' was just the thing to inspire me and your other choice gave me the idea for a second quiz too. I think you're about due for a promotion to at least captain. Reply #26.

I'd love to create a crossword titled "Too many people have died" but I don't know whether this would be permitted, given that someone else has taken some of this line. Is it allowed for two or more similar titles? Reply #29. Jan 26 24, 3:50 PM |

psnz, overlapping titles, and titles that are included within another title, are allowed. It is only the use of exactly the same title that is not. Reply #30. Jan 26 24, 4:06 PM |

Thank you looney_tunes. When I read through this material, “Too many people have died” resonated. I’m thinking of a Celebrities puzzle in relation to the 27 Club. Reply #31. Jan 26 24, 4:38 PM |

I’ll take ‘too many people’ please :) Reply #32. Jan 26 24, 5:53 PM |

Tentatively requesting "sail" and "sleep in the sand" as the two that really stand out to me. Reply #35. Jan 26 24, 9:43 PM |

I'm glad you like the songs, Catreona. I've put you on the list (ready for the next page) with both those titles, but Wes has yet to rule on whether you can claim more than one title at a time this year. He didn't allow it last year. Reply #36. Jan 27 24, 3:46 AM |

I'd like 'You May Embrace' please Reply #37. Jan 27 24, 10:59 PM |
