I don't mind that the party be attended.

The party isn't minded to be attended .

1- There is no chance for mistake.

2- There is no room for mistake

Neither works for me. It isn't clear what you mean- do you mean that you don't think many people will attend?

Thanks.
I wanted to say' I don't mind attending the party.'

I wanted to say it in different ways.
 
Hi nado,
You posted that question before. There's no way I can think of to change your original sentence and use the word "attended" to keep the same meaning. It's a bad question.

For your second post:
1- There is no chance for mistake. -- It's foolproof. You can't make a mistake. It's impossible to make a mistake.

2- There is no room for mistake. -- It must be done correctly. If you don't get it exactly right, it will fail.

peace be upon you.

thanks for everything.

Believe me ,this question was in one of the last year exams here in Egypt.
So I ' m trying hard to find any acceptable answer to it.

Thanks again
 
Okay - here's one: If it turns out that I attended the part, that would be okay.

Terrible, isn't it? It's a bad question!

Doesn't your sentence mean:
I don't mind having attended the party? (this sounds terrible by the way)
That's how I understand If it turns out that I attended the part, that would be okay.
As if you were drunk and weren't sure whether you had beed at the party or not.
 
It's the best I can do.

I don't know if I'm going to the party tonight. I might; I might not. It it turns out that tomorrow we are talking again, and I did go (I attended), that would be okay, because I don't mind going.
 
Maybe the simplier:
If we attended the party it would be OK.
I think the good thing about the original sentence is that it can mean many things (it doesn't specify who's attending and when - perhaps hypothetically?) so we have more room for transformations.
