Riddles for the science fiction geeks, but not only...These are not the regular brain teasers you'd expect. The book contains nine funny, original, science fiction riddles or puzzles which will pick your geeky brain.Here's one of the riddles, together with the answer.Riddle: Potatoes Counterattack“Approaching the Jojoba system, captain.”“Very well. Sensor readings?”“Everything looks normal sir. We have visual.”“On main screen.”The officer presses some buttons on his panel and the main screen shows the Jojoba planet, with the orbital docking station prepared.“Strange…”, says the captain, “they seem to be expecting us. How did they know we were coming?”“Sir, I don’t think it’s us that they’re waiting for. I’m detecting a cargo ship, class M-35, heading for Jojoba as well.”“M-35? That’s one of the biggest they make… and slowest. Navigator, we must not allow this cargo ship to dock before us. M-35s are known for their long docking procedure time. It could take as long as 6 hours. Our crew is craving those delicious Jojoba potatoes, we can’t make them wait that long. Ahead warp factor 7.”“But sir, we didn’t get permission to dock.”“But the docking station is prepared nonetheless. Let me worry about permissions, you just dock, and dock fast.”The navigator presses some buttons and within seconds they are starting docking procedures, while the cargo ship was still several space miles away. The admiral that was in command on Jojoba was one of the captain’s friends, so the captain wasn’t worried about docking without permission.“Docking complete, sir.”“Very well. All crew maintain…” but before getting a chance to finish the phrase, the captain abruptly stops talking and chokes. After a couple of seconds, he spits out a potato. “What’s this supposed to mean?” shouts the captain angrily.Another potato falls on his first officer’s head, out of nowhere.“Security chief, report to bridge, expedite,” says the captain in the intercom.As the door opens and the security chief enters, with a potato in his mouth, waves of potatoes from the corridor invade the bridge.“Captain, permission to report,” asks the security chief after removing the potato from his mouth, “our ship is overrun by potatoes. And delicious ones too, I might add.”Can you guess why was the ship overrun by potatoes?Answer: Overwhelming PotatoesJojoba ground crew expected that the cargo ship would dock, and started teleporting the potatoes on board without additional checks. Luckily, as the security officer noticed, they were delicious and the crew didn’t mind having them teleported right in their mouths, let alone the provisions they made.The book contains eight more riddles of the same complexity. . . .
