Monkey apple has a smoother skin and is more symmetrical in shape.

Every barahar has its own shape. That's not unusual. Every potato has its own shape too.

Barahar is delicious. To me.

To you, yes...I was asked to pickup a sour fruit I spit on the ground in Singapore. The person who gave me the fruit said, its sweet, taste it.

Burnham's full name is longer by Jagan's full name by how many letters?

Only one guess per person.

Time up, folks.

Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham = 26 letters

Cheddi Berret Jagan = 17 letters

26 minus 17 equals 9.

Therefore, Burnham's full name is longer than Jagan's full name by 9 letters.

What's a 7-letter word for a Guyanese canoe?

 


A balahoo

A ballahoo is a bigger boat than a canoe.

 

I think Gilly is referring to a Koryall but I don't know the correct spelling.

MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY:

caΒ·noe

noun \kΙ™-ˈnΓΌ\

: a long narrow boat that is pointed at both ends and that is moved by a paddle with one blade

 

The vessel in that photo passes for a canoe, right?

Balahoo is the word I want. Riya wins.

 

Technically, Mars is correct to say that a balahoo is larger than a canoe.

The 1913 edition of Webster's Dictionary defines balahoo as "a fast sailing schooner used in the Bermudas and West Indies."

Note, however, the phrase "Guyanese canoe" in the question.

Look at this Kaieteur News report dated October 14, 2013:

"A  49-year-old man is missing and feared dead after the balahoo in which he was traveling collided with an unlit fishing vessel at around 21:50 hrs on Saturday in the Lower Pomeroon River."

And look at this Chronicle report dated May 20, 2013:

"THE Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) up to late yesterday was continuing its search and rescue efforts in the Essequibo River as they sought to locate dead or alive, 24-year old Fred Crème of Onderneeming, Essequibo Coast...Reports surrounding the tragedy suggested that the vessel in which the men were travelling in, a wooden balahoo encountered rough waters and efforts by the boat captain to ride the waves successfully were futile and the vessel toppled tossing the men overboard."

 

Congrats, Riya!
