The perfectly planned surprise
A flawless plan
Algo put three envelopes in a row. He wanted to prepare a surprise that went well. On the first he wrote ‘A blue circle’. On the second, ‘A hat’. On the third, ‘A blue circle wearing a hat’. Memo read all three. ‘I have discovered the ending,’ he said. Algo checked his labels. ‘Yes. The information is complete.’ Memo waited. So did Algo. The surprise had not arrived yet.
