IOL 2004 Problem #2 Swift News Agency
A translator at the Swift News agency, which regularly receives lots of material in English, tries to work as fast and efficiently as possible, and therefore first translates titles of articles and only then some of the articles. Because of this technique, however, some of the titles do not correspond to the contents of the translated articles and have to be reconsidered. This happened to three of the articles whose titles are given below.

(a) Indicate which titles did not correspond to the contents of the articles after translations. Give the appropriate translations. Explain your solution.

⚠ Knowledge of English is NOT NECESSARY for the solution of the problem. Lilliput, Blefuscu, Brobdingnag and Country of Houyhnhnms are imaginary countries, featured in the writings by Jonathan Swift, an English writer (1667-1745).
