“Henry the Taupe–A wizard of Unseen University. While studying criminology, he essayed to see if people could be cheated even after they had been TOLD they were being cheated. He set up a Find-The-Lady table in Sator Square and announced to the gathering crowd: ‘I WILL cheat so that it will be impossible for you to win! You CANNOT win!‘ This caused much amusement. Despite the fact that no one won, many customers even returned for another go. Henry made AM$200 and decided to study human nature instead.”
- Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, “The Ankh-Morpork Archives”
(I take it back. THIS is the most Ankh-Morpork thing I’ve ever read. And yet it also sounds like an incredibly Roundworld thing as well.)
