No matches may be overlapped or broken, and no square may be formed inside another. Or, give this a shot: It's high noon in Dodge City and two gunslingers are ready to draw. Here's the highfalutin' language they use: "Draw, O Coward!" "Live not on evil."Can you figure out what's strange about those lines? If you guessed they're palindromes (phrases that spell the same thing forwards and backwards), you're the winner!
