Dear Reader
It is with great pleasure that I bring you today’s post. Following events yesterday, we celebrate a great moment in the history of Sherby57. Let me explain.
A recent post of The Sherby57 Project, entitled Games, Puzzles and Lies, gave a description of a riddle that was set way back in October 2007. This tricky conundrum was none other than the mind-mashing One Was A Stunner, One Was a Dog (follow the link to read just how tricky this brainteaser was). Many had attempted to solve it, as can be seen in the comments section for the post, but none had succeeded. Step forward Dr. Angel:
- Artists Impression
The lovely doctor is a good friend of mine, but our closeness did not come in to play when it came to solving this challenging riddle. She showed an incredible tenacity and impressive creativity when it came to incrementally homing in on an answer. And this persistence paid off as Dr. A solved the problem! She posted the correct answer at 11:52 am yesterday, and pandemonium immediately broke out in the Sherby57 offices. Indeed, the majority of staff walked around with disbelieving looks on their faces for the rest of the day. I eventually had to send them all home because no work was getting done, and the party atmosphere was all pervasive. Coming in to the office this morning, I found a scene of carnage, with bodies laid prone throughout the building and empty bottles of Cristal filling every dustbin.
So, with joy in my heart, I don my ceremonial headdress and offer my official congratulations to dear Doctor Angel. Well done, you’ve made the world a better place for all of us.
I won’t reveal the answer here, so there is still time for you to have a go, if you haven’t already done so. There are suggestions and clues throughout the comments section of the post, which may well help you. If you don’t want to know the anwer though, don’t read past the comment that reads:
I’m sure in some universes that answer would be so correct that you’d be instantly crowned ‘queen of the world’, just for uttering said answer. I hope this helps ease your pain.
You’ve realised that it was less than two women that he had sex with, and are now down to one woman. Are you prepared to go through the looking glass?
Good Luck, and good hunting.
All my love

I feel all funny inside.
What a lovely tribute, to a virtual god of a woman. all you say is, indeed, factually accurate. I feel totally honoured to have a whole blog entry and picture dedicated to my pure bloody mindedness at solving a brain teaser. some might say that my life must be quite meaningless to have dedicated so much time to it. I think the fact that I co write a novel called ‘Hazard of Parsnips’ should out paid to that assumption.
Hmmm, a novel called ‘A Hazard of Parsnips’ you say? Would I be correct in thinking that more information can be found by following the following link?

Anyway, your tribute was richly deserved my dear, and what sort of idiot would question your involvement in such a noble pursuit? Your steely determination is an example to us all.
