Riddle Mugs
Description: The title track of his 1984 album, The Riddle was a Top Ten hit for 80's pop superstar Nik Kershaw, and is celebrated with this reimagined Nik Kershaw The Riddle Design. The "riddling" lyrics caused much puzzlement and speculation among listeners as to their meaning, Kershaw claims that there is in fact no meaning at all, simply being a "guide vocal" thrown together to fit the music.
Description: A row of emeralds reaches the line of time T, where the prediction forks into a green emerald and a blue one. Why do we expect emeralds to stay green rather than turn 'grue'? Define 'grue' as green if observed before time T, blue after. Every emerald seen so far is both green and grue. The evidence supports both predictions equally; why do we trust only one?
