No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters.   
ps poppy already knows so she is excluded from this quiz!

They all feature in a quiz that was set on Sunday the 19th October at 16:45 precisely 

[#3]

Sorry Spider - you are wrong!

[#4]

With google everyone is smart, its an easy search for that answer

[#5]

Seriously Gus - you need Google to help you with that?
Can we have a quiz with a tricky question next time please?

[#6]

Why?  Do you know the answer James G?
I have had various incorrect responses and 1 correct one by PM so far!

[#7]

Remove the first letter, and the remaining letters of each word are palindromes.
Whether its the answer you are looking for or not, you must concede that it is a correct answer to the request you made.

[#8]

Answer:
In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.
Did you figure it out?

[#9]

You could have just agreed I was right - never mind though, I don't mind.
Who also joins the hall of fame? Who was the only correct PM respondent?

[#10]

Worked out it was a palindrome without the first letter  (marked wrong!!) (although I incorrectly called it a mnemonic)
Also noted that with the first letter deleted the remaining palindrome's were not any kind of anagram, none of them re-arranged to any other word in English -unless you know better?- (also marked wrong!!!)

[#11]

4candles was the first and only correct PM I received!  so he is a "smart" person!!

[#12]

Well done 4 (perhaps should be 5 now) candles.
Oh, and Josie for setting it.

Confession time I guess - it had me totally snookered so I googled it.

[#14]

So I was the only one to get it right without Googling. (Although I will confess to checking the spelling of Palindrome online)
Does that win me a prize then?
I seriously thought it was pretty obvious as soon as I saw the words.
I always suspected I was slightly different

[#15]

I got it without googling too, although I decided not to post after cheating by looking up the spelling of palindrome.
Hey James, it's a great view from up here on the moral high ground.
