This is kinda nifty: answer a concrete question in a page or less.
In 1993, the UK Science Minister, William Waldegrave, challenged physicists
to produce an answer that would fit on one page to the question 'What is the
Higgs boson, and why do we want to find it?'
Another might be: Why does water swirl the way it does going down the
drain? Short answers only, please.
