I work for a government agency. You’d be surprised how often we play very complex versions of this game.

Or maybe you wouldn’t. In any case, in my experience, about once a week. Essentially, your sponsors lets you know they want an answer to an unanswerable question (“how can we best weaponize salmon?”). Then we play “guess the answer the sponsor wants”.

>> (“how can we best weaponize salmon?”)

Is the intended target a population of bears? In that case, I have a cunning plan...

Swordfish? Manta ray guns? Limpet mines?
