I believe they need to see Anna because of their atrocious use of grammar/spelling in the puzzle and she's a grammar geek Wink

I wonder if this palindrome thing is some sort of an inside joke - one of the recruitment questions in the original Project Syzygy was "what is aibohphobia?"

I'd just like to point out this card is worth 43 points. Compare that to something like WordSpy (19 points), which still hasn't been solved and is looking to be a tough one, already with a second layer found (wordspy website and top 100 word list).

That makes this at least twice as hard as WordSpy, and that's only if the points scale relates linearly to difficulty. There must be a lot, lot more to this card.

Dont forget that words used out of context can be grammatical errors such as "was" in place of "is". this would then make sense.

if there are older flags say the persian flag this could then make sense for the last line. Confused

Also, although in no way related to the solve of this particular card, another typo on it is the title - "Vexillogy". The correct spelling is, as far as the online dictionaries which I've looked at, "Vexillology"

I know this card has been solved but I found these sites really useful for anyone who has a rubbish knowledge of flags (like me!) and is still struggling, but doesn't want to be given the answer!

http://www.flags.av.org/flags/
and
http://www.37.co.yu/fi/

both are flag identifiers that make the process alot easier!

I just solved this card (only just started playing Perplex City!) but I have one question though.
What is the flag with the two gold lions in the corner of the St George England flag?
