In a shocking turn of events, the solution to the Committee of Conundrums' latest puzzle was discovered in a pile of socks.
A lone sock, a stray from the washing machine's vortex, had somehow managed to find its way into the committee's meeting room.
The sock, a faded blue argyle with a hint of a mystery smell, was found on the floor, surrounded by empty coffee cups and crumpled up papers.
It is said that the sock, in its wisdom, revealed the solution to the puzzle, and the committee members, in a moment of unison, exclaimed "Ah ha! The answer was in the laundry all along!"
