Q: This is a two-week creative challenge, and it’s a tough one. Most people are familiar with palindromes, which read backward and forward the same. For example:
Madam, I’m Adam. Do geese see God? Sit on a potato pan, Otis. The object is to write a palindrome that contains the letter Q. Entries will be judged on sense, naturalness of syntax, and overall elegance. The person who submits what Will considers to be the best palindrome containing the letter Q will play the puzzle on the air with him in two weeks.
