Yeah, but, but....the closest answer to what?Originally Posted by NikolaiI
I am not even sure I remember the question anymore...

The question was a bit vague, so let's just wait for Prendrel to start a new one. Sounds good.
No, no, no. You can't do that. Also, no, no, nuh-huh, no way.
Given that we've put all this time and effort and patience into getting it not quite right, you've got to tell us what answer you were expecting. And there is one, because the guy you quoted said there was, and because you gave us a clue or two to help us get it, and you say Mick was closest to it.
I think you gotta know when to hold 'em - and know when to fold 'em...
This poor thread. What's that scene in Star Wars where Darth Vader is clenching his fingers and the guy is choking...?
Oh yeah. Death by strangle-hold.

Hahaha, poor Nikolai. What a debacle.

Sorry - I haven't had internet access for a while, nor with my job had the time or literally energy to go to a lab..
I'll tell you, but I warn you, you're not going to like it. at least not probably.
What the...? are you talking about, Juniper.
Hang on while I find a bit of leather to bite on.
Riigh..g'hed.
So, what you'd do is tell the dealer you're thinking of becoming a dealer (the white lie), and asking him something like if it's worth it to work there for a couple years.
Oh.
Is that it?
All this time? And that's it?
You're right. I don't like it.
Well, no - I don't like it or dislike it any more than any of the other suggestions.
What I don't understand, though, is the advantage it has over asking, "So how long have you worked here?"
In a way it's the ultimate puzzle.
And it doesn't even have to be a lie, if at the minute you say it you consider a serious lifestyle change.

Here's one I heard over the weekend:
A guy comes home from work really tired. "Rough day," his son asks. "Yeah, I dug holes and planted five straight rows of four trees." "Hmm, I guess that'd be 20 trees," says the son. "Twenty? No, less than that," says the father.
How many trees did he plant? (Hint: pretty sure it was the smallest number possible, fulfilling those conditions. Five rows of four trees each...)
