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?

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?Pleb wrote:A scientist is investigating an artifact found a small planetoid, that when people enter THEY are killed...

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".Pleb wrote:Lol well done Disembodied. Over to you...
