The Case:
On the morning of April 1st, 2023, renowned physicist Professor Reginald P. Bottomsworth reported to the Committee of Conundrums that his socks had achieved sentience and begun to govern their own length.
After months of investigation, our team finally cracked the code: it turns out that the socks were secretly using advanced quantum entanglement to defy the laws of classical physics and grow longer by exactly 1.4 millimeters every Tuesday.
The implications are staggering: if we can harness the power of sock-based quantum physics, we may be able to solve the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, and even the ultimate nature of reality itself.
But at what cost? Our team is now on the brink of a Sockpocalypse, where the very fabric of space-time is threatened by an unstoppable tide of increasingly longer socks.
