Anyway, a closer reading shows that the problem is impossible: OK > > There are three cream pies on a table. ... > If any part of --the actual cream of the-- pie touches either table or the ground inbetween, you're > disqualified. It looks to me as if everyone is immediately disqualified. Or are you trying to make a distinction between "pie" and "pieplate"? ---David Pie only. And because if you tried to stack the three pies, some cream would sqish out onto the table or floor. Oh...just thought of this.... If the cream was a light pale green, and since it is an Uplift Ceremony, the Tytlal could be singing at the time: Key lime every mountain. >This seems to be getting pretty involved. What were the towels FOR, anyway? (Cleaning the face.) > I admit to not reading _Contacting Aliens_. Are the Rousit known for fastidiousness, or something? The Rousit are not known. PERIOD. They are mentioned in Heaven's Reach while the action was on Kazzkark. And left out of Contacting Aliens. They were not known by the hoon on Jijo, so I made them a rather new discovery. They had no speaking parts, so I made them still mute. They were small compared to a chimp and they could ride upon a hoon's shoulder, so I made them Wazoon sized. Then I said that the non Alvin hoon faction is trying to breed out all traces of humor. And Alvin objects.... (And so far our good Dr. Brin hasn't. All he's said is that Tom and Gillian do not meet on Hurumphta. He's got something better planned.) Vilyehm
