What Do You Do?

Play the GAME and win.

"Okay. I accept." You say. Instantly your GT's both make a dinging noise. When you glance down at it, it reads "Challenge accepted."

"Great." Dr. Topple says with a willy grin. "Here's your riddle: I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?"

Having heard this riddle before you quickly go over the riddle again a few times in your head to make sure there's not some sort of trick at play. Finally, you say, "An echo."

"Darn. You got it." Dr. Topple laughs. Then she holds up her hands in front of you and asks. "So which finger do you want?"

Still, a bit perplexed you reach out and tap one of her index fingers. "This one I suppose?" You say. Instantly the finger disappears, causing you to jump back and screech. "What the bloody hell!?"

"It's okay." Dr. Topple insists. "It's how GAMES work. Imagine the finger back on my hand."

You do and the finger springs forth where it had been. "Incredible." You mutter.

"Indeed it is." Your coworker says. "Now imagine the finger on your hand.

When you do it appears on your own hand, your very biology rewriting itself to accommodate the extra digit.

"Well, enjoy it." Dr. Topple says waving good bye. "And take good care of my finger." She shoots you a wink and then steps out of your office leaving you alone.
