But Icy, as in so many of your other quizzes there is a team approach. If you award prizes only to the last person [who gets to see the correct results of earlier people], there won't be a lot of incentive to jump in soon. Except that s many of us are eager beavers.
for eager beavers wherever they may be.

yes, I think you're right.
If you'd like a follow up question. then this quiz was about pairs of palindromes.
Can you name a language which is a palindrome?
And when you've done that, can you name another?

I salute Dmitri for the ones I didn't get... I did see sinned, but would never have connected that to Dennis...

Two very good answers in Nun and C, but the one I had in mind was a language which is also a nationality. The nation is a UN member.

I was hoping to tinker with the vowels in Tibet and hope no one noticed the change.
Or go with Bora Bora, which on a word by word basis [rather than letter by letter] is a palindrome. But, yes, someone would have spotted that one.
