We've been getting anagrams pretty quickly recently, so I thought I'd try a different direction. Didn't think it was that difficult though.

I agree I think some just go to anagram solving sites - what foxed me was I was looking for a word with CHI in 😬

Would I make it that easy? 
Well ... maybe tomorrow, we'll see.

This is where I was:
A backwards state: etats
contains Chicago: etchicagoats
it surrounds Atlanta: etchicatlantaagoats
confused: No clue what the hell this is anagram of.
Had no clue that this is about geography.

Does it have anything to do with the French (British) Indian war?

I didn't know of this yet another great example of historical social interaction between French and English!

Hollywood movies are excessively realistic by comparison!

Which I coined... "Spaghetti are forever"
Let's say you have this scary complicated piece of code that no one understand. Yet it exhibit some issues.
After much effort you understand it and make a much simpler version. Chances are people will not accept the changes (can't commit without code review in some places, like my current place). For the simple reason that they have doubt the simple version is the same, since the current complicated version is gobbledigook no one understand.
The only committee approved solution to fix the spaghetti code issue is to wedge a few extra if statements in the middle of that some other quadruple nested if statements.
And so the spaghetti worsen...

Is that ISO 1701, 1701A, 1701B, 1701C, 1701D, or 1701E?

I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of dilithium onboard the carriers. I can confirm the presence of deuterium oxide, but not the amount of deuterium oxide.

YES! UNIT TESTS.
And Integration Tests! If it's spaghetti code to start with then it probably has some pretty heavy dependencies on other classes, too. Don't mock or stub out those other classes. It's the only way to be sure.
Once you've stepped through every line of code and you have 80% + coverage of the class YOU will be THE expert.
Refactor the code with no logical changes on one change set. No bug fixes or enhancements allowed. Add lots of comments as you figure out why some line of code was added that seems counter-intuitive! Add a unit test to cover that line so that if anyone ever changes it or inverts the logic your test will catch it.
After the refactor, knock yourself out. You are now the SME.

So you need two developers to agree on some code to send it on, toward production?
