The Name Game

By Miss Cellania in Mentalfloss on Apr 23, 2008 at 12:12 pm

Anagram time! In today’s lunchtime quiz at mental_floss, you’re given a made-up name, and you try to rearrange one word in that name to match the other word in that name. You don’t know which word is scrambled, and you don’t know what order they are supposed to be in. I scored 80%, just because I’m impatient and I don’t spell so good. Link

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I scored 80% too, but that’s because I’ve never heard of #7 or #9.

Oh, I googled it, its the Achille Lauro, that ship that got hijacked a long time ago. You’d think they’d lay off the foreign names…

How about “every single one that’s a name is the anagram”.

He, he. Damn foreign names. How dare they!

100%, but I saw the answer to one before I started. And I said NEUTRAL instead RENAULT for one, but they started accepting that, too, apparently.

I loved the name “Osbert”.

I did EXACTLY the same thing.

I also complained on the site that the quiz on the net for english speakers was very US centric.

Renualt Alliance was never sold out side the USA.
