Here's one

i think it would be pretty easy to guess all the combinations. Just make your way across the keyboard and spam the backspace key. I think the yellow box makes sense on this one.

That's your problem then.

Zuid Afrika

From Wikipedia: Upon formation, the country was named the Union of South Africa in English and Unie van Zuid-Afrika in Dutch.... So as I assumed, the Dutch name of the country starts with a Z. But to be honest, I'm too tired and lazy to check further if this is the real reason for the country code.

Are you saying Deep Blue wasn't AI? Seems like a pretty narrow definition of AI . . .

No, thanks. ROI doesn't pencil out.

As for EV I had never heard of that. We don't use an abbreviation for it as far as I know, English or otherwise.

I could only think of electric car and hybrid so I tried EC first, then thought of vehiclre and eventually did manage to get EV

So if anything needed a remark I feel like it is that one :D (but not asking for it, to be clear!) The other names are universal(ly known/used), they remain the same in other countries (well nearly all of them) and that one doesn't. This isn't a complaint by the way. Just a "huh do they use that as an abbreviation?/ do they have an abbreviation for that?"

And also I might be wrong, I don't go to cardealers often ;) or read magazines specifically about cars. But never seen the term used in commercials or other discussions.

My Dutch grandmother got very stressed at a US airport once, because after she landed, she needed to go to the bathroom (water closet) but found every door with the sign 'closed' to be locked!

I got it because of an old joke about a new minister writing a letter to his congregation upon his new appointment. He told them he heard they had a wonderful WC, meaning Wesleyan Church, but the congregation thought he meant water closet. They were quite appalled by his hopes to open it up to everyone in the neighborhood, and serve dinner there after his first sermon.
