My guess is the "low number" includes quite who submitted this, don't understand why it would be incorrect. It may be I'm just missing something in the wording of the puzzle. I'm reminded of a couple years ago when the intended answer was Vietnam/Native (country, drop one letter, anagram is the name of a native of a country) and there was a low number but Haiti/Thai was not accepted.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702124453531693149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-60087042524686585852023-03-19T19:44:30.395-07:002023-03-19T19:44:30.395-07:00Ah I thought he meant don't include y, mishear...Ah I thought he meant don't include y, misheard while driving, oh well try again this weekMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957863590667424784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-57008447266408914022023-03-19T11:06:33.775-07:002023-03-19T11:06:33.775-07:00Mike, he gave Lebanon to Albanian as one answer.

Most of all, they have no fear (Purdue played scared) and are dangerous, capable of beating just about anybody. And don’t let the size difference fool you: Other things being equal, quickness beats size (look what they did to Zach Edey).
