In my brain bone...I am old.  The Evans one I remember from the introduction in MCO-10 to the Evans, N=novelty from using informants, and we all know what the hippo is so i'm surprised that one lasted. I also had tabiya but I misspelled it badly and khapa21 saved the day.

I think zankfrappa and I constitute the majority of clue answers for these neat puzzles lol.

I enjoy them Crazychessplaya!
