(Other than being mad and perhaps not the strongest at logic puzzles.) Helen and Dave can be at least initially eliminated — while of course it’s not impossible that, I don’t know, Helen has an mischievous split personality or Dave has been doing an extremely elaborate briar-patching con this entire time, both are definitely violations of Occam’s Razor and should be considered after more plausible alternatives.

That leaves the superintelligent gerbil with a chip on his shoulder, and… um. Mell.

… Yeah honestly even if you include Helen and Dave I would probably have guessed Artie :V.

I was in a D&D group with four guys. Two were off the table (one engaged, one my brother). The other two wanted me to marry them. One is my husband. I broke the other’s heart. I still feel sad. Cloning would have been very useful.

(About 75% of guys in gaming groups wanted to date me. Unlike Sarah and Dave, it makes me grin. Except for the heartbreaking. The attraction percentage is still very ego-stroking.)

The operation could have reduced his number of life grains as well as inalterably turning him female.

Attention, Seth. The suave thing to do would be this: as soon as she says “Read my lips” you start making out. Trust me, if you do it quick enough and with enough suction, you’ll wipe her memory like in Superman II.

It also occurs to me that 50 years ago Seth’s freckles and bushy hair would be the height of handsomeness. Not so these days.
