Mnemonic

Melt down this gold book and recast it as a flower pot. A solid gold book is too heavy to hold and too shiny to read, but a solid gold flower pot would make a fancy new addition to your garden.

Hints

Imagine melting down your gold book. You're excited to have your new flower pot, but you're a little sad because this book was actually pretty interesting. Make a mental note to buy it in paperback later.

Mnemonic

The gold flower pot has a hatch (はち) attached to it, which used to be the book's back cover. That's fine, you use the hatch as a lid for the flower pot!

Hints

Okay, so this may not be the best flower pot. You usually don't need a hatch or this much gold coating. But that's how they used to do it in the old days, so that's good enough for you!
