for us foreigners this could get a bit confusing...

in the challenge description there is no defenition on stationery, so for us non english speaking I googled it..

Definitions of stationery on the Web:

writing paper and envelopes, as in: A resume should be on fine stationery.

paper cut to an appropriate size for writing letters; usually with matching envelopes

Stationery is a general name given to paper and office supplies such as envelopes, notepads, pens, pencils, erasers, paper clips, staples, etc., and refers to all products sold by "stationers". The term "stationery" is frequently used to refer more specifically to paper used for written correspondence, usually decorated and/or personalized with matching envelopes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationery

Definitions of stationary on the Web:

standing still; "the car remained stationary with the engine running"
not capable of being moved; "stationary machinery"

there are a few words in the english language that can be really confusing for us foreigners, and this is one of them...

just wanted to put a defenition here for those confused :)
