AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a whimsical exchange between an apprentice and a wishmaster in Bedlam's Bazaar, where the apprentice seeks an anagram for "Iowa Hawkeyes" as part of a request from a Puzzlemaster. The wishmaster initially challenges the apprentice's offer of four dubious characters, suggesting they are not worth a significant wish. After some negotiation, the wishmaster grants a "wee wish." The conversation then shifts to a series of humorous, rhetorical questions that playfully explore various topics, such as the worst meal for a long sea voyage, the appeal of ear lobes, a skinny dipper's mishap, autumn leaf management in cities, and rural advice for farming. The tone remains light-hearted and creative, emphasizing wordplay and cleverness.

A Brief Conversation Overheard on a Side Street in Bedlam's Bazaar:

Apprentice: My Puzzlemaster needs an anagram for the phrase "Iowa Hawkeyes".
Wishmaster: What do you have to barter with for such a noble petition?
Apprentice: For your wicked amusement I am authorized to offer you

One who is gullible and One who is seedy, and
One who is fallible and One who is greedy.

Wishmaster: Equivocate you may, Puzzleboy, but those Four culprits, if but One politician, are hardly worth a sizable wish.
Apprentice: Okay, a wee wish.
Wishmaster: Granted.

How did the Wishmaster fulfill the Puzzlemaster's request?

Iowa Hawkeyes -> Okay, a wee wish
 
When I asked my Granama Margana questions she always answered with an anagram of "Nebraska."

  • What is the worst meal for 40 days and nights at sea?
  • Where do ear lobes draw the greatest interest?
  • What happened to the skinny dipper that got a cramp?
  • How does a city prevent mountainous leaf piles in Autumn?
  • How do country folk get advice for rural farm life?

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
