Quiz Challenge!

Colin, the #1 item from #22 ought to be "bat" - which will give a lot of "hits." Didn't have to look that one up.
The #2 item is the proper name for a contest or challenge to find some two-word item that returns exactly one response.

#1
That's nowhere near the highest number of hits from a single word
Bat got around 53 million hits. Microsoft gets almost 91 million.
I have one word that got 1,840,000,000 hits. Any ideas which?
Can that be beaten?
#2
I thought that was exactly what I described as a googlewhack challenge. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough.
Finding a googlewhack is a lot harder than it used to be

"Bat" probably get only about 53 million hits online but a bat as used in baseball has been getting hits for over 100 years in professional leagues alone. Your question was ambiguous in that it allows a different interpretation than you intended. But I can Google-search the sports records for the last 100 years for all baseball teams everywhere and I would bet I get quite a few hits.

Not only that, but with the corona virus and posts on all sorts of social media, I would expect "bat" to continue to increase for a few months yet.

Of course you are right - the meaning of 'hits' was ambiguous at least in your eyes.
But perhaps not as ambiguous as using a vase of flowers on a table in front of a window when you were representing a sill using a visual clue

Now that child's name really was weird. For anyone who hasn't heard about it, the baby's name is X Æ A-12.
See https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11559741/elon-musk-baby-name-meaning-pronounce/ for meaning and pronunciation...

I read something in your link that obliges me to explain something.

Æ refers to the elven spelling of Ai, which is short for Artificial Intelligence and also means love in Japanese.

In Japanese, Ai is a very special word that is used in a special way. Depending on how it is used it can mean, love, dust, dirt, sorrow & pain. I can’t understand why the parents took love side and not the pain.

On a side note, Here, the parents are not allowed to choose a name that MAY end to being bullied in future. I remember someone chose Devil as his son’s name, but it was rejected. I think that name will not be granted if they lived here.

Which appears to be the limit, something to do with the number of pages it loads?

Searching for "a"

1. What single word of at least 3 letters gives the maximum number of 'hits'?

Ah - I may have missed that bit... Too busy actually working! Sorry.
