OK everyone, attention:
I´ve submitted ravenne my answer, along with the promise not to participate if I´m wrong, on day 4, and someone apperently one person beat me to it. (I did know on day 2, but did not tell anyone back then.)

Now I am asking:
Who was the only one, that was faster than me?

Suddenly I'm hearing, "I'll guess it with ONE note!" Can't remember the gameshow...

I'm sure there must be someone that guessed the title before the contest even started.
Pilotbob maybe?

I figured it was a book with a given name as well... But I didn't know any books with a given name as title...

Just so you know, I strongly suspect that this one should be "Le Père Goriot".
I suppose the script or the source doesn't handle accented chars well.

I suggest you hide the winners' usernames somewhere in the forum, and then we'll have to look for them! On golden stars, preferably!
