Last Week's Challenge
From Sandy Weisz: Take a country whose name contains a symbol for a chemical element, and change it to a different chemical element to get another country. For example, if Aruba were an independent country, you could take the "AR," which is the chemical symbol for argon, and change it to "C," which is the chemical symbol for carbon, to come up with Cuba. There are two answers to this puzzle, and both must be found.
Answer: Mali/Malta, Algeria/Nigeria, Iceland/Ireland
Winner: Larry Pryluck of Amissville, Va.
