Does "Z" count as a word? Or does it matter anyway? xD

This op game fails slightly, but it's interesting.. You have to make a new AMV and name it properly to get your op

Or request a name Change of one of your Videos O:

It has to be a word that's anagramed and palindromed.
So Z fails.

It fails in general, not only in this Thread

Dude, come on. You have Google, Wikipedia, and dictionary.com at your disposal.

Not to mention actual books.

Lazyness is a disease, you know.

Wait. I fail to see how "ardar" is a palindrome. It doesn't read the same in either direction. "ardar" != "radra"

Furthermore, you said the word didn't have to make grammatical sense, but it should be a real word - which "ardar" appears not to be. It's not on dictonary.com, not on wikipedia, and Google brings up nothing but an organization, which goes by that acronym. Those can sometimes be spelled into real words, but this one isn't such a case.

Lastly, the chances of someone actually doing this challenge with a pre-existing video are astronomically small. You would need an even number of each letter in your video title (except for one, which is the center letter). The chances of that are tiny enough as it is. I went through all of my videos counting up the letters, and the only video that even came close was How Happy You Made Me, with three instances of only one letter. (Oddly, Singled Out has no repeating letters at all.) Most people couldn't even attempt this challenge because of that. Of the very small number that could, I sincerely doubt that they're floating around on the Opinion Exchange forum.

In other words, good luck finding a true contender (who didn't make the video especially for this challenge), FC, but the likelihood of that happening is practically nonexistent.

Umm, the title itself doesn't have to be a palindrome. You just have to come up with an anagram of your video title that is a palindrome. In Kit's case, he came up with "Radar" from Ardar.

Judging from the music used, it's more correct to say it was titled that way on purpose.

I'd like to see something more complex myself. Maybe i'll get back to that algorythm for genkaiten's full title...

er... forget that... anything with more than 1 character that occurs an odd number of times doesn't work.

The fun part now is taking that knowledge and a list of every video on the site and narrowing it down to ones that this would actually work for.

I figured as much considering it's 6 seconds long and was released today. I was just mentioning

Which is why The Free Op is still available.

And yes Kit had it right ... The Title of the video does'nt have to be en English the anagram made from the title does and it's this anagram that must be a palindrome.
