I believe the policy of this forum is against riddles.

| I've got nothing against riddles. Besides, riddles are very mysterious, just like prog, so they fit this forum perfectly well. I don't know the answer though. |

Riddles can be fun (although a bit twee for my taste) Up there ^ I merely expressed my amusement (actually, I LOL) at Ricochet's deadpan response....... Maybe I shouldn't admit this but.......on another forum (the health one about which I posted elsewhere as being full of rather dumb right-wing harpies) someone posted a riddle. (One of those where a strange situation is described, but only in outline; you're not given the full info & have to extrapolate, asking questions to find the "correct" answer.....very teenage mentality.....); anyway.....so once that had been solved, I posted up another.....under one of my pseudonyms.. Whaddya mean childish? Well, ok, maybe Whaddya mean cruel? They deserved it, believe you me...  ------------- "Every man over forty is a scoundrel." GBS

......as a barely English-speaking German student (apologies to any Germans reading this - "German" chosen only because I'd lived there for a bit & had some background knowledge of language & culture). Of course, it was a totally insoluble (unsolvable?) riddle, totally ridiculous, although with just about enough logic to keep the harpies going for a short while (I could certainly have played it better, though...)

Answer:
Based on the state of inerita, developing a centrifugal force, which acts as a catalyst rather than a catylagenic, thus hastening the chain reaction that percipitates that same matter. Thank you.
