Thomas, mingling through the crowd, hears Rix's cry. He looks up and sees her hovering over Forjod. "Hang on a minute, honey, take the kids," he says, growing concerned and hastily making his way to Forjod.

He kneels down beside him, his hand on his back. "Forjod, are you all right? Tell me what's wrong!  Do you want me to take you to the clinic?" He says. He looks up to Rix. "How long has he been like this?"

Asja looks the group of eager girls over. "Very well. Whomever can answer this will get the boquet."

"A powerful wizard had an apprentice who was young, but eager to learn the next part of his training. He told the boy, 'For you to come to the next step of your learning, you must be able to think your way through problems.  Here is your problem.  Discover the most efficient way to stay under water for an hour.  When you have your solution, come and tell me.'

The apprentice left and came back the next day. He gave the wizard his solution. His solution required no magic, required no gills, required no ability to hold his breath, required no mechanical contraption, and did not require him to stay in an air-filled cave. He was able to solve the problem by using whatever could be found in any common home.

The wizard was so proud of his apprentice, he gave him a beautiful robe and hat, and his own magic tome.

What was the apprentice's solution?"  Asja awaits the answer.
