In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "I am not a smart man." How do you ever get "take it easy" for number 2? Never mind, I just got "it".

Bob As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

I have more trouble with 1. "Get back to me" would seem to require eriuqcai, or possibly ieriuqca: I am not sure that the extra i being inside the word quite works out. That said, all credit to Denis for posing these conundrums (or should that be conundra?)! http://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-5253,00.html How about deriuqca (2 words)?

The word "acquire" (synonym of "get") is written in reverse (back) with an extra i : i = me, thus to (two) me... Do I hear loud applause?
