Stuff I drew at odd moments during Furry Fiesta (and there were a lot of those!) Hey look, there's the original version of the "roast hedgehog" cartoon. That and the "sauces" one were inspired by our trip to Texas de Brazil. And then... there's some other stuff.

I think the usual thing there is that you're only allowed one question, so you can't waste it on a test question.
Raymond Smullyan published a series of these puzzles in a book somewhere, and one of them was about finding yourself on a tiny island inhabited by liars and truth-tellers, and you're trying to find a certain 1-km-tall tower. You come to a crossroads and meet four people and you don't know what types they are. What's the fewest questions you need to ask to find which way to get to the tower?

A better question: Why would I care about how many questions I ask? Really, I can't stand a lot of brainteasers because I can't help applying Gordian knot thinking to them.
"Why not just do this?"
"It's not allowed!"
"Well why the bugger not!? It's the most efficient option!!!"
