Abstract

Here is a puzzle that's simple to state but not so easy to solve. Take a set of English Scabble tiles with its standard complement of 98 letters and two blanks (that can be used to stand for any letter). Use all 100 tiles to make a list of names of countries in the world, all different. For the acceptable list of country names use the current list of 192 member states of the United Nations.
