task 5.9 There is only one M in EMPEROR PALPATINE
Murder in Mesopotamia has 2 Ms
From FAQ:
. If I have to find an author's initials, a title word, etc., in a specified word (such as author's initials found in ANCIENT), how many times can I use each letter in the target word?
Only once - so if the word is ANCIENT, you could not use Aravind Adiga, since there is only one A in the target word. On the other hand, you could use Nele Neuhaus, since the target word has 2 N's.
