WHAT DO YOU SAY?
One of the favourite topics of discussion among the schoolmen of the eleventh century was the solution of the following quibbling problem:
"When a hog is carried to market with a rope tied around its neck, which rope is held at the other end by a man; whether is the hog carried to market by the rope or by the man?"
The question, after having been discussed by thousands of the acutest logicians, through the course of a whole century, "with all the rash dexterity of wit," still remained unresolved.
