Fools Gold
Created | Updated Apr 2, 2002
Fools Gold, more commonly known as "shiny thing in rock", has fascinated fools the world over, ever since the value of gold was decided to be greater than that of other metallic elements. After several centuries of fools discovering fools gold, and therefore allowing others to discover them to be fools, a fool detection system was devised by the decidedly un-foolish grey bearded fellow.
The system, though surprisingly simple, was 100% effective. Exactly 100% of those who were judged by the system was found to be a fool. The system goes thusly:
1) Hand a piece of rock to the accused*.
2) Ask if the accused can find the fools gold in the rock.
3) The accused is a fool. For only a fool would look for fools gold.
