Meet Bonney and Yahttzee:

They're professional hit men whose specialty is pirate-related murder. They just showed up at the bar we were at, produced their Glocks, and prodded us into the back of their SUV.

While they were prodding us, they had a logic question for us. Bonney said: "I am 38 years old (and single) and Yahttzee is 99. Which of the two of us is more likely to have been in on the President McKinley hit and why?"

Of course, my crew and me didn't have the foggiest. But if you are first to answer it right, provided the scrimshawist Flarq lives, you've got yourself a 'shaw.

Why they will likely murder my crew and me.
