Yikes! Spelling tossups might be fun to resurrect in a specialty format like the one
proposed, but the example below is potentially an outright hose. A more straightforward
way to write it would be more along these lines (middle deleted for brevity):
"The Leviathan originated in Babylonian creation stories ... and is the name of a famous
work by Thomas Hobbes. FTP, spell "Leviathan"."
Using the term promptly in the intro would clarify that this is a spelling tossup, and not
bait players to neg (or require prompting) by just answering "Leviathan".
