[the wrong question]

"I'm not very good at problems," admitted Milo.

"What a shame," sighed the Dodecahedron. "They're so very useful. Why, did you know that if a beaver two feet long with a tail a foot and a half long can build a dam twelve feet high and six feet wide in two days, all you would need to build Boulder Dam is a beaver sixty-eight feet long with a fifty-one-foot tail?"

"Where would you find a beaver that big?" grumbled the humbug as his pencilpoint snapped.

"I'm sure I don't know," he replied, "but if you did, you would certainly know what to do with him."

"That's absurd," objected Milo.

"That may be true," he said, "but it's completely accurate, and as long as the answer is right, who cares if the question is wrong?"

As a side-note, I'm sooooo obsessed with square things. Which is why all of my post titles will forever be in square brackets. Just thought you'd want to know.
