I have read the answer to this riddle and it is so stupid and disturbing that I can't be bothered printing it. It deals with cannibalism and guilt.

I'm beginning to think there is no answer to this question. From the reading I've done, I don't think Mojo would pose a question that he didn't have an answer for! I don't have a clue what the answer to this one is, but I thought I'd bump up the thread so the other brave souls out there can keep the game going! ;D

It's the method of asking which is the key to ALL Lateral Thinking Problems.......
For instance :
What we know is that a man enters a seafood restaurant and orders Albatross before contacting anybody else.....
Now we ask questions that can only be answered Yes, No or Irrelevant :
Here's a question to start us off :
Is it important to know anything about this man ?

Always start your questions ( at the beginning at least ) with...." Is it important to know about ......" and specify...BE SPECIFIC And in the absence of mojo I shall ( with apologies to Mojo ) answer my first question then daphne87's.... I asked "Is it important to know anything about this man ? The answer is : YES To answer Daphne87's question: NO So, the next thing to do is ask about the man....and remember be specific !!
