Daladna. They manage to drive oxen into plows, so why not put on yokes? :D We're waiting for other answers, in short...

For some reason, I remember that the answer to this puzzle is "horn." But it doesn't quite fit, as the pairs are different here. It would be more like a horse-bus and a bull-tram...

Update: And Google claims that the pairs are correct: a horse and a tram are approached from the front, while a bull and a bus are approached from the back.

why isn't it suitable?

F(bus) = bull, F - horns
F(tram) = horse, F - no horns
F changes the status of "horns" to the opposite
damn, I'm rambling.
It's good that Hv is a forum for addicts, and such posts are normal here.

I know I answered correctly, so I'll preemptively post this. This is a question I created myself for a quiz game.

This letter appears very rarely in Russian words. [Here should be the number of points for it in "Scrabble," but it can be easily found online.].
In the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University, near the pond, there was a sign with a prohibition. It begins with two words, in which every second letter is THIS letter. Write these 2 words.

Here is a photo of the pond, but it won't help, it's not a very good photo, it will only distract you. Just as proof that I'm not making things up. The sign was on that wooden bridge in the distance; I don't know if it's still there. http://www.hortus.ru/#!about/c20c3

Sesam, I had the exact same thought. But unfortunately, the current collectors on a tram are not called "horns," only the current collectors on a trolleybus are.

Regarding Uranium.
My first thought is – could it be that the Russian word contains a letter that isn't part of the Russian alphabet? I decided that's unlikely, it would be too exceptional a situation.
Okay, let's take the Russian alphabet. If we look at the statistics, the least frequent letters in the language are the hard sign, "э," and "ф." Although there are many other rare letters, all the others appear more often. Also, the idea that "every second letter" is probably a vowel seems likely. And the words are probably borrowed... "Э" fits perfectly. Well, as a backup, we can take "ф" or a more or less rare "ю."
That's my current thinking, I'm still considering it.

"Ы" appears slightly more often, but it should also be considered – the first word of the two could be the word "fish".

Damn. I figured out the horse and bull riddle yesterday, but the forum was down.

And is it allowed to use Google?

I don't use it, so I wouldn't recommend it.

You pass a horse and a tramcar from the front, but a bull and a bus from the back.

Correct.

Google claims.

:(:(:(

The fish are fed.
Do not feed them.

The cop is awesome. He figured it out quickly.

Someone suggest a hero out of turn, I'm on my phone right now. Or maybe later this evening.

Okay, fine. I'll ask a riddle. Few people know the name of the first king of England from the Norman dynasty, who went down in history under the name... But this name is distorted in a Latinized way. What was his name (and is) in English? And in French? Name all three of his names and three of his nicknames. P.S. Whoever names all six correctly gets +6 to their Defense skill ;)

Well, let's say Richard. The Lionheart. Although I don't really remember English history, let alone the names of various dynasties.
