    Where did Shortz even earn his degree? Harvard, Yale, Preston, Oxford, Cambridge? (So if you left from Earth after breakfast, you’ll be back from Pluto in time for lunch?)

    What an accomplishment for Will….being #1 in his class.

    All other enigmatology students end up changing their major, because they soon learn no one has ever hired an enigmatologist.

    But if you travel at the speed of light, you experience zero time passage on your trip to Pluto (or to anywhere!)

    Who taught Will? Someone unqualified?

    How does big kitty maintain his athletic figure after eating so much?

    And if you traveled at TWICE the speed of light, you could reach Pluto in THREE hours!

    I enjoy Will’s work every day. I’m on a 156-day streak as of today.

    Oh big deal, my ex-wife could do the same thing and often did just for a snack.

    Take care, may Venusian Queen Phuloom Bgavadord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Will Shortz, B.A. in Enigmatology Class of 2006 tRump University. His brother Jim went to THE Ohio State University.

    I think Ripley’s purposely chose “the speed of light” rather than ‘WARP Speed’ for political reasons.

    I take a daily COVID – 19 test as we have two kitty litter boxes now. We will not adopt a tiger cub.

    And you could make a stop at McDonalds on Jupiter.

    Actual time in light speed to Pluto is 4.88 hours equating to 15,575 seconds.

    Distances in the universe are almost unfathomable (not mathematically, but mentally). The probe that went to Pluto and arrived in 2015 was launched in 2006 and was traveling 5 times the speed of a bullet!

    … and how much time would have elapsed on earth when you returned after you six hours?

    Hold that tiger…hold that tiger…

    But can Will Shortz ride a tiger at the speed of light to Pluto while eating 80 pounds of meat?

    If you traveled to Pluto at the speed of light, it would hurt.

    You would also leave a helluva crater.
