Riddle of the Week

I can't believe it's taken me so long to post about this:
During my law school career, I have posted a "Riddle of the Week" on my carrell. Initially, it was an attempt to reach out to my fellow students and get to know them better (by luring them over to talk to me and ask questions about the riddle). I think it worked really well my first year, and I'm glad I got to know more people because of it.

This past year has been more hit-and-miss. When I was in the basement, practically no one participated because the only people who go down there are the ones that have to. Since then, I have switched my carrell to the third floor and now I enjoy interacting with my fellow students once more. (You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not).

Anyway, last year I would just have people approach me with the answer, but this year I've gotten a little more sophisticated:

Sorry the picture is fuzzy, but what you should see is the "Riddle of the Week" sign, the riddle*, the answer to last week's riddle, and then the "Riddle Submission Box" (complete with paper on the side so all you need is a pen).

It's been pretty fun. Occasionally even the morning custodian has submitted a guess. I think more people participate than I know, even if they don't submit a formal guess. Hopefully it has livened up the lives of my fellow students.

What's your favorite riddle?

*The riddle this week is: "Thirty men and only two women, but the women hold the most power. Dressed in black and white, they could fight for hours."
