Divided Countries Too
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
The following clues each form a unique word by themselves, add them together to get the name of a country. Example: blue and yellow mixed + solid ground = ? Answer: green + land = Greenland
1. frozen water + solid ground of the earth = ?
2. used to refer to oneself + competed in a race = ?
3. anger or wrath + to lower an airplane from sky to ground = ?
4. a relaxing resort + not out = ?
bonus: never used + enthusiastic devotion + in addition to = ? ?
Answer
1. ice + land = Iceland
2. I + ran = Iran
3. ire + land = Ireland
4. spa + in = Spain
bonus: new + zeal + and = New Zealand

| I don't think it was incredibly easy; I got all the answers, but they weren't immediately obvious. Nicely done. |
