ASSIGNMENT ACCEPTED 265 - 09-22-09

A blog by Rick Larrison

In your BLOG 264 you challenged (make that assigned) me to complete the 8 missing BLOG entries for you. You also questioned ‘CONUNDRUM’, with multiple question marks. So, to validate that I had used the word correctly, I used the source of all knowledge "The Internet". Below is what I found from "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"

Conundrum may refer to:
In literature:

• Conundrum (Doctor Who), an original novel written by Steve Lyons
• Conundrum (novel), a Dragonlance fantasy novel by Jeff Crook
• Conundrum, a memoir written by Jan Morris
• Conundrum Press, two book publishing companies in North America

In other fields:

• "Conundrum" (song), an instrumental song by Jethro Tull
• "Conundrum" (TNG episode), a fifth season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation
• The "Conundrum", a mountain unicycle made by Surly Bikes
• "Conundrum" NSA code word for Chrononaut Frank B. Parker in the television series Seven Days (3 seasons, 66 episodes)

In general:

• Conundrum, is a riddle whose answer is or involves a pun or unexpected twist
• Conundrum is a logical postulation that evades resolution, an intricate and difficult problem ^[1]

I, of course, was using the word as defined in the second definition of the "In general" heading. Though there are some other very interesting tidbits of information extracted from Wikipedia. So, to resolve my senior brother's "Conundrum", he has passed the ball off to me. So, I guess I'll just have to take on the burden and complete the tasks for him. (Like, I've never had to do that before? He is a big brother and everyone knows how they pass off undesirable tasks to their younger siblings.)
