This allows you to sort the five libraries from left to right based on the locations of the Ministers.
- BARKER - SOMEWHAT BUGGY
- LEWIS - MULTIPART COMPOSITION
- ROTCH - EVEN IN WIDTH
- DEWEY - COLORFUL HEAD
- HAYDEN - GOES ON LONGER THAN WAR AND PEACE
Each of these answers can be interpreted as a condition that the answers may or may not have.
- BARKER - SOMEWHAT BUGGY (contains the name of a bug)
- LEWIS - MULTIPART COMPOSITION (has more than 1 word)
- ROTCH - EVEN IN WIDTH (has an even number of letters)
- DEWEY - COLORFUL HEAD (begins with ROYGBIV)
- HAYDEN - GOES ON LONGER THAN WAR AND PEACE (has more than 11 letters)
Using these categories, you can keep track of which ones work for each answer, giving you a five-digit binary number for each answer. Use these binary values, in the order the answers are listed at the bottom of the Ministry round page, to spell out A VORACIOUS BOOKWYRM RAN AMOK.
