How did you solve the conundrum, Charlie?

No teacher at my school can spell BALALAIKA, only me

Tbf the clock started about half a second after the board turned over.

Thought the topic title was a plural and we only saw one. The video was more numbers weighted.

It's quite an easy conundrum if you know the word, like CATAMARAN there just aren't many ways to arrange those letters.

Wow, that's some research you did. Which method did you use?

JAMBALAYA was in the same category: if you know the word it's a trivial spot.

The "grab-it-off-the-TV" method.

Seriously though, it would be quite interesting to know how many of them could spell BALALAIKA. I think you should ask them all and report back with the results. I reckon most of them would actually get it right.
