          My little green light went out years ago. I tried the obvious - converting the letters to numbers - but I still can't get it. Save it for the maths buffs. I am sending out a distress call (column one, reading downwards).

            You can do it, Michael, I have faith in you. See my private message to you for a little clue. When you find the solution, don't explain why, OK?

              You have found the solution, Michael. In fact, you just said it. Look back carefully at what you just said (about converting letters to numbers) !!!!! Think in French !!! Did you ever do French at school?

                Zut! Michael's green light has just gone off. Oh, alright, I'll give you the English version of my little IQ test. Please find the missing letter (marked as "?") :

                ? t t f f
                s s e n t
                e t t f f
                s s e n t

                Geddit?

                  Nah. I'm too tired and I hate numbers. You'll have to send me the answer. I thought this was supposed to be a comedy corner? Well, in the words of a dying composer: "Applaud, friends, the comedy is over!"

                    Fair enough. I did think I would launch a new thread (IQ quizzes?) but I thought that might have put people off. So I thought the Comedy Corner to be the most appropriate place. Sorry.

                      Not only am I a pedant, I like quizzes, crosswords and play chess. And am forever on the hunt for "forbidden" parallel fifths. Can you redeem me? Please?

                          Beethoven walked into a bar one day and got all sticky - it was a chocolate bar.
                          That night he walked into another bar - it was a bar of music (he was having a surreal dream).
                          Bar none, these are the weakest jokes I have ever posted...

                            You should be barred from this forum!
                            Anyway, glad to know you're still alive!

                              I'm replying to my own post here. I hope I haven't given the game away. Philip, in case you think I stayed up all night trying to solve your riddle, I didn't. I'm very, very slow at puzzles but, like Beethoven, I keep worrying at a thing until I get it right.
                              Ignore my remarks about this being a comedy thread. Keep the puzzles coming but, in my case, it may take a few weeks before I can solve them!
                              (If they are Beethoven related, I may be a bit quicker because I eat, drink and ....... Ludwig van.)

                                EBIT = Earnings Before Irregularities and Tampering
                                CEO = Chief Embezzlement Officer
                                CFO = Corporate Fraud Officer
                                NAV = Normal Andersen Valuation
