[SIGH reaching into the box]

I can't believe you seriously want to test this. Where did you hear that, anyway?

You know, Zee, not all questions have to be answered.

But I know so many other things. There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball. It would take 78937354 hamsters standing on one another's backs, to reach the moon. A goldfish's memory only lasts three--

There's a question I would like to answer. "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?" I believe a thousand would give me a representative sample.

He's right, you know. Crunching is cheating.

Yes. The question was licks, specifically.

What are you trying to do?

Determine, to within a .5% margin of error, how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

How are you, Zima?

How're you doing with that so far?

I'm all right. I see Ro is here now.

Well.

She is. I was very happy when she arrived.
