    Flem-ish

    		Yay! And you did that quickly, too.

    This was, in part, a test question for a quiz. I wanted to see whether players could work with only the attribute as a clue.

    		Saint Barbara is a popular saint here among students
    of civil engineer schools. Also popular among young girls because of the "cherry tree twig" legend. If twig blossoms on Christmas Eve, it means luck in matters of love. See
