For those eager for some distraction:
On Sunday mornings, Will Shortz offers NPR listeners a weekly puzzle. This week, unusually, rather than a puzzle to be solved, it is "a creative challenge." It can be heard at about the 5:08 mark on the 6-minute podcast currently at the top of this page:
http://www.npr.org/series/4473090/sunday-puzzle
(It might move, particularly after next Sunday's show.)
A paraphrase:
a conundrum or riddle beginning "What is the difference betweeen..." in which the answer involves a transposition.
The example given: What is the difference between a lucky criminal and some Saran with a garden vegetable?
Answer: One beats the wrap, while the other wraps the beat.
