Committee of Conundrums - Flumplen Theory, Principle 3

Subpage for Principle 3: "A pinch of salt and a pinch of confusion"

This subpage is dedicated to exploring the intricacies of Principle 3, a cornerstone of the Flumplen Theory.

Principle 3 states that any problem can be solved with a pinch of salt and a dash of confusion. But what does this mean, exactly?

Well, let's take a look at the following examples:

Each of these examples will illustrate the application of Principle 3 in a unique and fascinating way.

For more information on Principle 3, see our theories.

Example 1: The Case of the Missing Socks

It started like this: you'd wash a sock, and then it would be gone. Vanished. Poof! No matter how hard you searched, no matter how many drawers you rummaged, that sock was never to be found.

But then someone remembered Principle 3. A pinch of salt, a pinch of confusion...

And suddenly, the sock reappeared, nestled between the washing machine and the dryer, a tiny note attached to it that read: "I was just taking a little R&R, you know."

Case closed.

Example 2: The Enigma of the Tangled Web

It was a puzzle that had baffled the greatest minds for centuries: how to untangle a mess of twine, a snarl of yarn, a snarl of spaghetti...

But then, someone applied Principle 3. A pinch of salt, a pinch of confusion...

And the web began to unravel, thread by thread, until it was smooth as silk. Well, almost.

The remaining threads were still a bit knotty, but that was beside the point. The point was that it was untangled.

Example 3: The Mystery of the Missing Donuts

It was a case of corporate espionage. Someone had been stealing all the donuts from the break room.

The security cameras caught nothing but a fleeting glimpse of a shadowy figure, but then someone remembered Principle 3.

A pinch of salt, a pinch of confusion...

And the thief was revealed to be... the CEO. Who had been using the donuts as a distraction from his own existential crisis.

Case closed (sort of).
