Try to post a question that would be impossible to answer. If the person can answer the question that you give, and if it is a good answer, then mod them up and it's their turn.

I'll start:
When will George W. Bush call off the war on Iraq?

He won't. It won't end until after he's left office in a few months. His successor (or their successor) will be the one who calls it off.

(That a sufficient answer? )

Well, I suppose you are correct, but in the way I imagined it, so you don't get the point.

Your turn, anyway.

I think that BeefOnTheBone's answer is a valid workaround to an ageless koan Your turn.

Though mrimer's entry is worthy of note.

Nah, it must be "clap". If it isn't, then the one hand isn't clapping. QED.

Actually, I think all the answers were correct to some degree. But we seem to have missed the "real" answer: *slaps calamarain with one hand*

Strictly speaking, that was Terry Pratchett's answer I believe

Erm, ok - how long is a piece of cake?

Twice as long as half of it.
Half as long as twice of it.

Quarce as long as a fourth of it.
A quarter as long as Quarce of it.

A millionth of a million times it.
A million of those million pieces.

Sorry, I just got carried away.

Try reading the question, nitwit. He said cake, not pi.

You all know I would make absolutely no claims to any mathematical skill, but I believe that the cake equation is this:

Cake = [ (E+F+S+X)÷T ] x L/C + Mmm

"gâteau"

I counted all the letters (even though it was hard)and discovered
that there are SIX Letters in it.
so that would be Six letters and (about)45 Pixels Long.

We'll move on as soon as the internet meme of the cake being a lie stops being used.

Considering the length of time that All Your Base has been around, I suspect we'll be here forever.

All Your Base Are A Lie.

I'm giving the points to Tahnan, firstly because he made me laugh, and secondly because someone with no sense of irony modded him down. The answer I was actually looking for was "roughly as long as this piece of string. Aww, I got icing on my string!"

Er what? No, I just came in to make a smartass comment.

I suppose I could pose to you the fundamental question of philosophy: "Why is there something instead of nothing?"
