Well, that last one came and went while I was eating lunch!

Okay let's try and make things harder...

A scientist is investigating an artifact found ON a small planetoid, that when people enter INSIDE, THEY are killed...

Book Title and Author please?

The artefact are killed? What kind of grammar are that, man?

Lol it sounded okay in my head but I see what you mean if its written down...

I've edited it to include 'they'. Hope that makes sense now!

It still does not parse. Does the scientist find a planetoid? Did the artefact find the planetoid?

Right it would seem I made it so hard that it isn't even in english!

It makes sense now, sorry about that...

Is it Rogue Moon, by Algis Budrys?

Lol well done Disembodied. Over to you...

At least Fatleaf didn't answer it and the cycle is now broken!

Eh, what? >Fatleaf looks up<

Wasn't sure what the question was

Well I said I'd make it harder, but obviously by not writing out properly turned out to be too hard for some!

No, it's worse than that. Fatleaf DID answer it, on 13 June. It was the right answer, just the wrong time. Now we're in a chronic hysteresis. The only way out is to identify the source of the term "chronic hysteresis".

That would be Dr. Who's "Meglos" episode.

Score! And the loop is broken.

There are still some weird temporal effects: I did see Thargoid answering this question too, but I am not sure if it was in the past or in the future.

New question: What is the perfect way to murder a blond woman and get away with it?
