What's black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you're all through with it?
This may not count, but:
"Once upon a time in a faraway land, the king wanted to marry the smartest woman in the kingdom. All women were SAT tested. Three tied with the highest possible score. The king seated these three women at a round table. He informed them that he was about to blindfold them, then would place a cap on each of their heads positioned so that, with the blindfolds removed, each would be able to see the caps on the heads of the other two but be unable to see their own. The caps would be either red or white. The king instructed, “When your blindfolds are simultaneously removed you will see two caps. If one or both of them is red you are immediately to raise your hand. When you deduce the color of the cap on your head, lower your hand, rise, announce and explain.” Then the king placed a red cap on each head and removed the blindfolds. Each of the three women raised her hand. Ten seconds passed with all three hands raised. Then the smartest of the three lowered her hand, rose, announced that the cap on her head was red, and explained. How did she do it?"

The only answer I could come up with was "nothing" But I am likely wrong as you cannot actually do the action of eating nothing as it is a lack of action. Plus the religious parts would be matters of opinion...Quote:
