Hmm, that was not the word I was thinking of.

Dunk is cannister, I think.

A much shorter word.

Not O but Å, or å.

It is also the name of a town in Norway.

Must have seen or heard it somewhere, as soon as I read the question there was the answer.

Now let me think ......

Edit

On how many days of the year is there no professional sport played anywhere ?

Thinking about it, if you mean the world (universe) is the answer zero?

I think the question means the whole wide world and the answer given, which I have to accept, is not Zero.

Hmm.

I googled it and the answer given was two but not, necessarily, those two.

Someone else can answer it.

OK the answer I have is two but no further information is given.

Looking at it it is a duff American question and should have in the USA inserted.

Let's start again - anybody ?
