The discussion revolves around a quiz format where participants answer trivia questions without using Google. Key points include the identification of unique facts about various animals, historical figures, and scientific concepts. Notable answers include ambergris, a substance from whales used in perfume, and the fact that elephants can go longer without water than camels. Participants also discussed Jonathan Swift's prescient description of Mars' moons in "Gulliver's Travels," and the refusal of William Clark from the Lewis and Clark expedition to eat dogs, which his companions resorted to during food shortages. The conversation also touched on the longest place name, with a focus on Welsh names, and the uniqueness of certain words when viewed upside down. The quiz format encouraged playful banter and collaborative guessing among participants, enhancing engagement and knowledge sharing.

The only one who does work is "I" (the pronoun). :-p

It has been suggested on the first page...So i claim no credit...

If you relax the palindrome constraint, you only have one more solution (I think) : MOW

And if you take out the capital letter contraint, you get just one more : pod

Allowing any combination of capital and small letters gives one additional possibility : dIp

Quite strange that the seemingly important palindromic constraint was not really !

On the other hand requiring invariance under reflection about a central x-axis (rether than a 180° rotation) opens up many more new solutions : BIB, BOB, DEED, DID, SEES, BOOB, etc.
I think there must be more if you relax the palindrome and capital letter rule. you can use b/q, d/p, h/y, I/I, l/l, m/w, n/u, N/N, o/o, p/d, q/b, s/s, u/n, w/m, x/x, y/h, z/z
diN/Nip is one

But dIN is not the same as NIp.

'pod' is another solution, but I don't think there's many more
