A little linguistic puzzle that I thought of. I'm not really much of a linguistics person, but I know a lot of people here are. The challenge is to make a chain of words, where the source word is translated from language A to language B, and then has a different meaning in language A. Then the output word is again translated from language A to language B. For example: English -> German diverse -> divers divers -> Taucher*innen Taucher*innen -> (not a word in English, so can't be translated to German) In the example, the chain length is two. If a chain causes a loop, then you get points for each 'connection' that doesn't include the one that causes a loop. There's probably a bunch of other edge cases I haven't thought about because, again, I'm not a linguist, or even a language nerd. Oh and please don't use computers to try and programmatically find the best solution. That's boringggg. Longest chain wins. Good luck~ EDIT: the language that is being translated from needs to be the same in every step
