Thoth? Damn, I can't tell if that's an ibis or a falcon!

If it's a falcon it's Horus.

Okay, steering things away from Egypt slightly (hey, this type of thing does come up the the hstory categories on SWPs

) what was the name of the Greek general who's descendents (including Cleopatra) ruled Egpyt after it was conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great? After Cleopatra, it would become a province of the Roman empire.

i really should know this (did a degree in a not dissimilar subject) but i'm afraid it's only a guess: ptolemy soter

I'll give it, I know it as just Ptolemy.

Over to you!

I'm almost certainly missing something here,

but is the answer SPOONFEED?

... cos all the others have 6 letters!

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:20 am

right answer, wrong reason.
keep at it

Well after trying the positions on the keyboard, height of the letters, even adding up the values of the letters (e.g. a=1, b=2), I see that all the letters are in alphabetical order!

What's the longest word with all the letters in order (that's not my question by the way, since I don't know the answer!).

Spoonfeed is in reverse order too
