Is that it? You had me puzzled over how many 'bits' it takes to make up a number on a digital face the like of which I haven't seen since Adam was a lad?

I haven't seen one of them in years, that's not a puzzle it's more observational lateral thinking.

I was breaking it down into machine code and everything...obviously looking too deep.

Here's one for you. Bloke is found dead in a phone box, wrists cut as both arms are through the glass either side of the phone.

What was he doing to end his life in this way?

For those under 30 I mean an old fashioned red phone box.

A man is heading for the centre of a deserted field. There is no one around for several miles. When he gets there he is going to die. He knows he is going to die, he has no weapons of any kind, no diseases, no pills.
How does he know that his life will end?

Yep, some say the old ones are better.

Johnny died and went to Heaven. There were millions of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognised. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?

 

[classic33]

The fields on fire?
