0 Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 long enough, or not long enough. alternately, it could be 1 to 5 letters long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Surely this is not a puzzle... It's a retort to a question that has a variable anser or a question that shoud have been put differently - Like going into a travel agent and asking how much does a holday cost - too little info Which is larger; an infinite amount of string or an infinite amont of chairs?
