But you can't use Newtonian physics since that's the prize he's giving away!

I happen to have a copy that I inherited from my uncle, zoobyinsole, when he passed away 85 years ago. Your doorstop idea is about the best use for it. A quick read through revealed the plot is beyond soporific, the characters are completely 2 dimensional, and the illustrations are like some sort of proto-cubism, all geometric and abstract. There's a lot of talk about the attraction of this body for that body, but none of the romances ever goes anywhere. It's no wonder it has never been made into a movie.AnTiFreeze3 said:Everyone broke the rules, so no one gets the prize. I think I'll buy the book anyway and use it as a doorstop or something.
