Last week's challenge

Last week's challenge was a two-week creative challenge, and was a tough one. Most people are familiar with palindromes, which read backward and forward the same. For example:

• Rise to vote, sir.
• Lid off a daffodil.

The object is to write a palindrome that contains the letter Q. 

Winner

Jon Wentz of Stillwater, Minn.

Jon's palindrome: God, y'know Spot's IQ is tops. Wonky dog!

This week's challenge

This week's challenge comes from Eric Chaikin, of Westlake Village, Calif.

"I turned on the TV and saw anger, evil, slander, and ruin. It was all pleasant news. What channel was I watching and what specifically was on the screen?"

If you know the answer to the challenge, submit it here by Thursday, August 7th at 3 p.m. ET. Listeners whose answers are selected win a chance to play the on-air puzzle. Important: include a phone number where we can reach you.
