Re: Riddles
Tell her to collect some sea foam?
Send her to a rehabilitation center?
Considering its a blonde(and I am not prejudiced againt their intellegence) we can have them dyeing their hair every second to completely remove the possiblity of them being blonde and still keep them busy?
Etc.
Poof.

Re: Riddles
Very good answers Jay-qu, and ronthepon, however, BigDog had the answer I was looking for: Put them in a round room and tell them to sit in the corner. You'll notice I gave this answer in the gender nonspecific method so as to escape any hostile sexist rebukes..........................Infy

Re: Riddles
buffy why is the H (and maybe also the y) in the word Hypography in your sig in italics?
heres a riddle to tickle your noodle:
A train breaks down 1 hour after starting its journey. Repair takes a 1/2 hour, but the train can only continue at 1/2 speed and arrives 2 hours late. If the delay was 100km further in the journey, it would have been 1 hour late. What is the total journey distance?

1kg. Or twice "heavy". KG = 2 * heavy
