Silk here: I'm not being facetious but I do sincerely hope to "god" that
your life never depends upon your being called upon to prove nor to any
extent explain this equivocation of a riddle in its best dress! In terms of
gobbledygook you move to the head of the class.
This list should be renamed: Confuse with riddles!
Absolutely no logic allowed! All showoffs welcome!
Knowledgeable common sense individuals forbidden!
