Nånting te teet?
T for two?
In the modern world today, there is hardly any that uses the physical representation of the doubly troublesome word we were looking for here, with the possible exception of weddings. This fact, however, did not stop the Swedish Academy to include the term in the thirteenth edition of its dictionary, SAOL XIII, allowing us to find a Swedish word with a triply repeated consonant! Soundwise, we would even have to include a fourth letter to get the sought-after entry: TT-telegram! TT is the official abbrevation of the news agency Tidningarnas telegrambyrå, making the word self-referencing. The first telegram sent by TT was issued January 1, 1922. TT is also the casual term for the Swedish beer brand Three Towns, whose name is derived from large breweries in Gothenburg (Pripps), Malmö (Skånebryggerier), and Stockholm (St. Erik) used at the US launch in 1955. The numbers given in the question were the telephone area codes for these three cities. Correct answer: m (30 points)
