Q: Write down the name of a country and its largest city, one after the other. Hidden in this string, in consecutive letters, is another country's capital (in six letters)? What is it?The first country's capital and the second country's largest city share the same two starting letters.
A: PakistAN KARAchi --> ANKARA (Turkey)
For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.
You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
Here's my standard reminder... don't post the answer or any hints that could lead directly to the answer (e.g. via a chain of thought, or an internet search) before the deadline of Thursday at 3pm ET. If you know the answer, click the link and submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.

Blaine, couldn't it be considered TMI to imply (as you did) that both countries' capitals aren't their largest cities?
DeleteBlaine's hint may or may not confirm my answer.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I can choose to be rather dense, now and then.
DeleteWhen I searched for "largest city in Turkey"
DeleteKonya

popped up.
Had me worried for a few seconds.
Got it. Time for a nap.
ReplyDeleteChange a vowel in the capital to another vowel and rearrange. You get an article of clothing.
ReplyDeleteDrop a vowel and change a consonant to a different consonant and rearrange to obtain a similar article of clothing...
DeleteNot that easy, but Blaine's hint confirms my answer...
ReplyDeleteI had no angst about this puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI've confirmed my answer
ReplyDeleteC a p, at least you didn't say it was soooo easy.
DeleteI should have got this one sooner. Of course, it didn't help that at first I failed to follow the directions and put the city before the country.
ReplyDeleteIt's an easy mistake to make!

ReplyDeleteD'oh! Sorry about that! I guess it's easier to solve the puzzle, than to come up with a comment that isn't TMI!
DeleteNot to draw too much attention to it, but there's a comment somewhere above that I think is TMI.
ReplyDeleteIn conjunction with Blaine's clue, I've been to the second country's largest city.
And here's a musical clue: John Lennon.
Got me
DeleteI was going to post a comment in the form of "Too bad _____ is only the 25th-largest city in _____," but I figured I'd better wait until I knew the correct answer. I'm glad I did.
ReplyDeleteGot it. Reminds me of a song that has been covered by various musical ensembles over many years.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm thinking of the same song, it's covered by on of my favorites acts, their name being a complete sentence.
DeleteLarge group - so to speak
DeleteAnd both of them are former students of mine!
DeleteMusic students?
DeleteDidn't find the city, but I found another country...
ReplyDeleteWas it Tibet? That's the only one that jumped out at me, but it was 5 letters and not necessarily a country...
DeleteTime to decorate for Halloween. It's Holiday season.
ReplyDeleteAbout 3600 km between the cities.
ReplyDeleteIt took me forever but I feel accomplished now that I finally got it. :) I was down to the last 3 6-letter capitals on my list before I solved it. Of course, I could have solved it more quickly if I had initially remembered that the capital had to be 6 letters. Derp.
ReplyDeleteI was down to my last 5. In retrospect, would have been a lot quicker with a different approach. But 2 hours doesn't count as forever.
DeleteSaying "no clue here" doesn't make it so. Respectfully, I think this may be TMI.

ReplyDeleteWith these kinds of puzzles, the key is to recognize when you've got it backwards.

ReplyDeleteI’ve done that “unusual” thing in the former but, never having visited the latter, was unaware of it there. Interesting.
DeleteI have never been to the former, but used to live in the latter years ago. They didn't have that activity in my day, but there is wonderful scenery there.

A former President might have a hard time with Blaine's clue.
ReplyDeleteA former President might have a hard time locating either country on a world map.
DeleteIt is not clear that he can read a map !
DeleteI believe he made it quite clear that he cannot read a map, or a book, or tea leaves.
DeleteBut I was referring to a different former President, who could not only read books, but books about leaves (of grass, that is, one of his gifts to Monica) and famously said "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is." Which leads us back to Blaine's clue, if I'm being too obscure.

During his naturalization ceremony in Las Vegas, his car was towed because he had illegally parked in a spot reserved for the U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

ReplyDeleteEmbedded are some letters that can be rearranged to sound like something a certain Trump apologist might mention.
ReplyDeleteHere’s what I never know: how much of an answer is not enough or too much when I enter my response? In this case, should I only put in the 6-letter capital city or should I put the country and its largest city as well?

DeleteI'll try and be mindful of that advise.
DeleteSDB: I recall one of the most important suggestions I got in nursing school was to focus and not be distracted. I found that very important advice as I was easily distracted by others. Mindfulness is more like meditation I think, but also implies focusing. I guess you can scream though if it bothers you. Just warn me first so I can turn off the volume on here, plz.
ReplyDeleteNatasha,
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with that advice and you seemed to comprehend it without the use of a made up word that really does not work if everyone does not understand that it simply means to be aware and in the moment. UGH! (not a scream)

PAKISTAN-KARACHI & ANKARA

“We are now more than a year and a half into this pandemic, and the outcome is far from certain. It now is October, and I am wondering if we will be witness to young children dressing up as goblins, or if it will just be another day.”

In Istanbul (as in Iceland), you can cross a bridge between two continents. Cappadocia has carved cave dwellings and hoodoos.
> I was going to post a clue consisting of just the common names of three familiar domesticated mammals, but found that if you Google them together, you're led straight to the answer!
Cat, goat, rabbit. "Angora" is cognate with "Ankara".
Ankara

Pakistan Karachi — Ankara
ReplyDeleteAbout my comment, "I thought of the second country pretty much right away, if for the wrong reason":
My mind went to countries ending in -istan right away; therefore, I "wanted" the city to be Istanbul, which is Turkey's largest city. Obviously, Turkey + Istanbul didn't add up, but I still browsed countries ending in -istan. Once I got to Pakistan + Karachi, with the notion of Turkey still being fresh in my mind, I saw the answer instantly. 🙂

ReplyDeleteI clued that I have days worth of laundry to do because a Daniel Day Lewis movie I love is My Beautiful Laundrette, about the integration of the Pakistani community into 1980s London.
The FBI has also had days of Laundrie work to do.
DeleteIn my comment that contained some pretty bad puns of 6-letter capitals, I included the phrase "I'm 'packing' it in". That was my "Pakistan" clue. I know....my stuff needs more work. I'm in the company of some comic geniuses here.
ReplyDeleteI had made a long, rambling comment about solving the puzzle, heading out to brew beer, and then noting that I was hoping to have a chance to put my feet up on the ottoman on Sunday afternoon. It was ruled TMI. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. I was just reading about the differences between ottoman, hassock, and footstool. So if you had said hassock, you may have gotten away with it. But footstool describes both. So footstool might've been TMI. I know this is TMI, but I love looking up uninteresting factoids and sharing. :)

DeletePakistan/Karachi: Ankara, Turkey
ReplyDeleteMy clue referenced the song "Istanbul, Not Constantinople"; Istanbul is Turkey's largest city.

Name a nation whose former name was steeped in tradition.
Now name the current official administrative capital of this nation (now under its new name).
Remove three consecutive and four consecutive letters from this capital to name the person responsible for the cartoon characters Rocky & Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, Peabody and Sherman, and many more.
Anagram three other consecutive letters in the capital to name what Sophie and Marcie sometimes called Patricia Reichardt.
Six of the remaining 13 letters can be anagrammed to spell the word with which Linus, Lucy, Charlie, Pigpen, Schroeder or any other member of the "gallery" were tagged... much, as it turns out, to Charles' chagrin!
The seven letters that remain can be anagrammed to spell what Dawn wanted us to tie a yellow ribbon around.
