Hello all,

based on this meme, I decided to initiate a little November nut identification challenge on Lemmy. After two days (#8, #9) on [email protected] and one day (#10) at [email protected], today it's your turn!

Today the challenge is about finding a specific article in the English version of Wikipedia with only emojis as a hint. I'll start with just one and will add additional ones in case there's no correct answer yet.

The challenge: ✈️🔙🇰🇷

Happy guessing!

I aligned with @[email protected] (mod of this community) upfront to make sure the challenge is OK to post.

Nice one! But that's not the one I had in mind.

Wing nut?

Also a good guess but we're not there yet. The nut in the article I'm referring to is not a piece of hardware.

A 3rd hint has been added! 🇰🇷

Holy hell. I think I got it.

Is it this? A bag of complimentary nuts?

Hurray, you got it! I was already getting nervous that no one is able to solve it! Thanks a lot for participating and congratulations on being the winner of the day! 🏆🌰

I love that you picked a true deep cut in terms of nut lore. A+

That's downright esoteric. Very nice.

I added another emoji as 2nd hint.
