What a silly idea making a boardgame out of Chocolate.
Sticking with boardgames, on a standard boggle board, how many letters are in the longest word(s) you can create?

If we're not familiar with the story, how the blue blazes are we supposed to get it?

Fair enough.
I do actually know that story, but all I was getting out of Google translate was "nano sostenuto hunch". Ah well.
Gimme a minute to think of a Q...

Okay, what story starts with the line:
"Once upon a time, there was... 'A king!' my little readers will say right away. No, children, you are wrong. Once upon a time there was a piece of wood..."
