Divide and Conker
Note to anyone learning English...that's not the correct spelling of the verb 'to conquer'. These are horse chestnuts, also known as conkers. As in the game of conkers...since banned in many UK schools as kids may get bits of conker in the eye... (grrrr no comment).
Anyway, about this time of year they fall from the horse chestnut trees, so many here in Turkey...but I've never seen anyone playing conkers here...
