    Well since hillzagold's is so hard here's one of my own

    this is a guess who the author is question

    The reward will be dettermined by how long it takes for there to be an answer as I fear this may be very easy.  The minimum will be a powerup and I'll add in minerals if I see fit.

    Nope. It was actually written by Jonathan Swift in a pamphlet entitled: A Modest Proposal: For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick.

    "A Modest Proposal" is just it's colloquial name. ;D

    I know this because I'm a geek. I also hold a reproduced copy in my hand, which I studied in Liberal Arts in college and never bothered to get rid of.

    So neener-neener-neener. :good:


    EDIT: I don't see a reason to go into it now, but if anyone wants to know why on earth Swift would write something like that, I'd be happy to go into it, it's really a very interesting text.

    Wow, didn't know Puzzle Corner was still around.

    Anyway, I was wondering, was the answer to Bizarro Paragon's three hydralisk riddle ever revealed or guessed? The one where one hydra always tells the truth(Tom), one always lies(Lucas), and one is always random(Roy), and you have to guess their names correctly in three questions or they kill you. I really wanted to know the answer to that one, if anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.
