Y'know, I wasn't actually trying to frustrate you lot with that poll.

There is no 'right' answer; indeed, I suspect that that very lack is part of the point.

That was the hardest question taken from the fluid intelligence part of the most commonly used adult intelligence test. Which my mom (a school psych) noted does not necessarily mean it's the _best_ intelligence test, of course, but is a question she uses to help explain fluid reasoning when in meetings about kids she's working with.

The speed and confidence parts were added by me. And perhaps I should not have, as that may have encouraged the belief in a 'right' answer.

Clearly I should have been more clear about there not being a 'right' answer. *wry*

I came up with a defensible answer in seconds. But it didn't make me happy - what I wanted was an elegant one, a pun worthy of the best of "raven and writing desk" versions. I'll probably keep thinking on that for a while, whether I want to or not.

Huh. And see, it hadn't even occurred to me that people might want to answer as a riddle.

Probably because I'm _really_ bad at riddles.

If you do come up with something, though, I'd be curious. :)
