I keep hopping into this thread, eager to reply, and every time I come up with the answer for everyone fairly quickly.  Unfortunately, every time I come in, Zarban was the last to post, and he has an uncanny ability to flummox me beyond hope.

When.

Re: Bootleg Movie Titles

Clue 1: N currently equals 11, but they no longer include N in the titles.

Clue 2: Perhaps Brian could help.

Clue 3: Perhaps a whale could help.

Clue 4: Really? You need four clues for a long-running franchise movie with a whale?

I think Zarban's going to have to draw a diagram to explain the "return trip" malarkey, unless I'm being particularly Vulcan-retentive about this one.

Sorry. Given that they trek to the stars, "Return Trip" seemed a pretty solid substitution for "Voyage Home", I thought. Am I too much of a frequent flier?

The N doesn't make any sense to me Zarban. I would have just gone with "Celestial Journey: The Return Trip"

The N thing is just a mathematical way of talking about variables.

Re: Bootleg Movie Titles

Usually N is a number, so it works if you're talking about the series in general (Journey to the Heavens N), but not so much if you're replacing N with a phrase. The confusing thing is I think you were doing both.

Re: Bootleg Movie Titles

Yeah, I interpreted "where N is the Return Trip" as a way of creating a phrase meaning 'Return Trip' and then substituting that into the first part of the statement. I think this is what Zarban intended, but, for some reason, I was expecting the "where N is..." portion of the title to still persist, along with the substitution that was made into the earlier part. In other words, I wasn't expecting the "where N is..." portion to disappear from the final result, but rather to remain somehow a part of it, and it was this double-presence that stymied me. I don't know why I thought this, though.

I'm not faulting Zarban; he's trying to find interesting ways to convey information, and it's up to me to keep up. It's a bit like learning the foibles of a cryptic crossword puzzle compiler, really.
