What's your Monster number?

Brian,

Short answer - NO
Immediate response - WTF
Long answer - So a pessimist with 520 cards sells half of them and then has a Monster Number of zero???? Methinks the conundrum is between your ears.

By the way when referring to a Monster Number, always capitalize both the M in monster and the N in number.

I am...uh, I forgot what I was going to say.(oh yeah)... um, some on the board may know I am selling mine. Counting down I may stop at one, although I may actually have zero. That way I can still contribute to the thread.

If I remember what I learned in my high school Biology course correctly, the conundrum is actually part of the inner ear, thus not technically between the ears.

And doesn't WTF stand for What The Frank? -- Just pulling your proverbial Monster tail.

Brian,

But if you only have one, it must bounce back and forth. This phenomena is commonly known as "cerebral ping-pong" usually played without a net.

Frank, virtually awash in conundra.

So, I am now at 62. Not too bad, averaging about 10 a month (but that will go down with August and September ). I'll have to make them up on the back end of the year!

Frank, conundrum is not of latin origin, or is it?

The reference above would suggest that the answer is a conundrum. Just don't ask the question twice, Ed.
