The Flaming C (not the Calgary Flames)

Oh yes, it's a silly costume. But I think I've seen worse. On Peege, maybe?

In which I complain about the work I have been given in an attempt to get more work

I should be relieved that even one person responded to my repost of The Question Game:

Note that you do not have to add fifteen questions yourself. Mister Andersen already did that. Which does let me use all the characters at least.

But I really am not sure what to do about this business of people making up additional numbers and throwing them in. I appreciate symmetry & balance enough to think that maybe 16, as a power of 2, is appealing in a way 15 is not. But if I just throw in another character, where will it stop?

Will I be getting questions like, "Four, Thirteen, & Twenty-Three go to a cabin retreat where they meet One Hundred Eighty-Seven and the Square Root of i...."?

Should I discourage this?

Also, yes, I know that properly the Square Root of i is the Square Root of Two Over Two Plus the Square Root of Two i Over Two. Or is that Square Root of Two Plus the Square Root of Two i All Over Two? Anyway, that's longer and stuff.
