Edam Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Find hidden countries in sentences created by others, and create your own sentences with hidden countries in them. 1. Sentences should make sense. In other words, they should appear to be ordinary sentences. 2. Sentences should be no longer than twenty words. 3. Countries used in previous sentences MAY be reused. 4. Only one country should be hidden per sentence. 5. Use English versions of the country’s name. For example, the sentence “They posted his name on the alumni honor roll†hides NIHON, which is the Japanese name for Japan. But many people might not know that, and it could make the puzzles less fun. 6. Use the existing names of countries, avoiding names like SIAM, CEYLON and BABYLON. 7. If you solve a puzzle, you have earned the right to post one yourself. Okay, here’s a puzzle to get everyone started. Find the country hidden in this sentence: “The professor explained the hunting strategy pterodactyls employed.†Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/24492-hidden-country-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
