sorry, but if you ask trick questions I reserve the right to provide trick answers.

So I just read a Batman story involving the Riddler. (Legends of the Dark Knight 109-111, for the record.) Most of his riddles are answered immediately, as usual, but there's one that trails off.

(Interesting to see that discussion of troy pounds above. I've run into it before in one of DB Sommer's excellent Azumanga Daioh vignettes.)
