Here's a question I haven't seen before, but have thought about a bit.
Problem:  Who can suggest the longest coherent English phrase (or better yet,
sentence), that contains only the letters ABCDEF, and thus could be interpreted
as a series of hexadecimal numbers?  I'd be interested in any suggestions.
