I could make up an answer, but the puzzle is clearly designed to make someone believe there is an answer, but be unable to find it. This reminds me of someone I once knew who played 21 Questions with no particular answer in mind whenever it was his turn.. we finally caught on to his scheme when the talk around the table became centered on how an animal could be bigger than a Ford Escort, weigh less than 200 pounds, have 28 legs, amphibious, and living in the greater Boston area. Suffice to say, he no longer is allowed to play 21 questions anymore at our parties.

Chao, Marilyn Vos Savant

P.S. - Thanks for the E-Mail!"
she's so smart she spells ciao incorrectly?!?!
Chao is how it is spelled in Spanish, it's a Spanish loan word from Italian. You wouldn't fault an Argentinian spelling it Chao, why would you fault an American on spelling it that way? Especially since ciao has a very different pronounciation in English than Italian due to the spelling.
