    In a series of experiments inspired by John Nowak, consisting of subjecting
elements of the population (selected by their choice of walking down a local
alley on a *dark* night) to impacts in the head and neck with sundry percussion
instruments (hammers and reasonable facsimiles thereof), it was found that
death, or at least vegetabledom, was incurred in an average of 43 seconds, with
~68% of the sample space being within 4 seconds of the average.

     they actually encourage independant methods of solving problems)
