I didn't say it's not a good line fiend I said it's not as good a line as the Sphinx. Obviously I used different words, pls don't hold it against me.

A bigger island.

Archipelago would seem appropriate with the way one bit becomes joined onto another...

I'd suggest Peninsula but the French translation thereof would make it sound like an easier version of the original problem, starting a few moves in.

Pangea didn't coalesce though, it split into fractions..

Could this abomination of name giving be stopped, and aptly split into the logpile?
So that this thread remains for significant repeats and not for name geekery and random thoughts of how cool we would all be with names, should we put up 8c problems?
If I were to open 8c boulders I'd always name them "Take This in Your Face You Weaklings" with progressing numbers then.
