[edit] The riddle

What's the riddle Neelix recites to Tuvok, and the answer? 58.178.221.38 18:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Here you go:

NEELIX: Okay, here goes. A lone Ensign finds himself stranded on a class L planetoid with no rations. His only possession, a calendar. When Starfleet finds him twelve months later, he's in perfect health. Why didn't he starve to death?

TUVOK: It is a theoretical possibility that such planetoids contain hot water springs, which could sustain the man for several weeks.

NEELIX: But not for a whole year.

TUVOK: I concur. Logic dictates that the Ensign in question would perish.

NEELIX: Aha, ha. I stumped you. As a matter of fact, he not only survived, but his belly was full. Why? Because he feasted on dates from the calendar.

TUVOK: Your answer is merely wordplay, it has no basis in reality. Now, if you'll excuse me.

That what you were looking for? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 19:12, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
