bee, which I guess could give you proboscis. Haven't tried that.


Did try

13 and 14 as the number of single languages. Wasn't sure whether to count german or not as it's single on this card but not really. My list was albanian, georgian, russian, gaelic, somali, afar/ertra, lao, hebrew, dutch, uzbek, japanese, korean. That actually comes to 12, which shows how much of a rush I was in to get it entered.


The list of countries in their own language of the right sort of length is

federativna republika jugoslavija (31)
al jumhuriyah al arabya as suriya (2Cool
al mamlaka al urduniya al hashemiyah (31)
al mamlaka al arabiya as saudiya (27)
cong hoaxa hoi chu nghia vietnam (27)
chosun minchu chui inmin konghwa guk (30)
south west pacific state of tuvalu (29)
estado libre asociado de puerto rico (31)
saint vincent and the grenadines (2Cool
cooperative republic of guyana (27)
republica federativa do brasil (27)
republique islamique de mauritane (31)
jamhuriyadda dimugradiga somaliya (31)
jamhuriya mwungandwa tanzania (27)
republika demokratikani malagasy (30)

Too long were comoros (39), libya (56), and sri lanka (47)


I'm hoping that by the morning this list will look very silly. Don't know why those men in shades have appeared. Nothing to do with me.

 		Hello
Hi, I'm Eric. Having solved the card, I'm still not entirely sure I reached the answer in the way that was intended, so any hints I give may not be completely bona fide. Still I'm happy to give them, starting with this one...

If that turns out not to be enough, I'll post more.

For being the first solver... although probably never been on Unfication and may not ever read the congrats ... ah well

Well, that confirms he got *my* end of the trade! Laughing
I wonder how long he's been sitting on the answer? Shocked
