Still, it's always nice to see an easy question in the Phoenix... it boosts my self-esteem when I get right!

Okay...

In which country is the city of Timbuktu?

Ah, but if I set a question I will have to keep checking if people have got it or not. So I'll have to set an easy one.

What is the technical name of a regular 17 sided polygon (and why is it "famous") ?

Is it a heptacosahedron.

No idea but I will try heptadecahedron and is it famous because it was the first fifteen letter word that Bob got on WU?
