Serenity logged in the hacker's chatroom as Serene_One_55 and sighed as she noted no one of any note was there, she enjoyed taunting the organics and battling them so to speak. So she posted a riddle to at least get something going to occupy her time.

"I'm in a computer, and also in a dog.
I'm in your brother, as well as in the fog.
I'm not in your sister, but I am in your mom.
I won't be in the grass, but you'll find me in Tom.
You'll find me in a door, accompanied by a twin.
I can be found in a dove, but not ever in a spin.
I won't be seen in a cat, but you'll know I'm with two.
If you've been paying attention, I'm in you!"

The least she could do was figure out if any of them had a bit of sense.

Bored once again, Papi began to surf the Holonet, as usual. Streams of data flowed by, not very appetizing.

However, one post in a hacker chat room caught her eye. This will be easy! the AI decided.

Papi entered under the name of "Small_One", a name she used while hacking. Her processors absorbed the riddle briefly. After a few moments, the AI giggled. Easy peasy.

"The answer is obviously the letter 'o', as it shows up in every word that is mentioned as containing it," she responded. "Have any more?"

"What object has keys that open no locks, space but no room, and you can enter but not go in?"

She replied and noted the poster. "Glad to see someone finds them easy."

It was fun to quiz organics. It was going to be very interesting if they got this one.


"
Question: A school's computer system was recently hacked and the school has narrowed the pool of possible hackers to 5 people that were in the computer lab: Tyler, Justin, Chandler, Paige, and Shelley. Each of them gave three statements, two of which are true and one false.

Tyler
1. I didn't do it!
2. I've never hacked in my life.
3. Paige did it.
Justin
1. I didn't do it!
2. The attack was done from within the network.
3. I don't like Shelley.
Chandler
1. I didn't do it!
2. I've never seen Shelley in my life.
3. Paige did it.
Paige
1. I didn't do it!
2. Shelley did it.
3. Tyler was lying when he said I did it.
Shelley
1. I didn't do it!
2. Justin did it.
3. Chandler and I used to be friends.

Who hacked the system?

Papi tutted. Two puzzles at once? How rude. "I'll solve your puzzles, but first, here's one for you:

I am big, and I am small
I am short, and I am tall
I am red, and I am blue
I am me, and I am you
I can be heard, I can be seen,
I cannot be smelled, but I can be sung
I am everywhere that there is sentience
I can survive millennia.

What am I?"

Hopefully that would keep this Serene_One_55 busy while Papi set about figuring out the two other riddles.

The first riddle...Hmm... Papi pondered the answer for a moment. It's probably a mind, she thought. Now for the second one.

This one looked complicated -- at first. But two students stood out: Justin and Shelley.

Justin said that he didn't like Shelley, and when Papi looked at what Shelley said, the AI noticed that Shelley said that she and Chandler used to be friends, yet Chandler said he had never seen her before. Through inferencing, Papi was able to conclude that Shelley's first two statements were true -- which would also be the reason why Justin didn't like Shelley. Because Justin was the hacker. He also was the only one who mentioned the hack coming from inside the system.

Pleased with these results, Papi sat back and waited for the Serene One's answer.

"An Artificial Intelligence?" She spoke and then observed the answers of the other. "The second one is correct the first one is wrong. " She waited for another answer. It was fun, that was for sure. It wasn't everyday, one found such good challenge on the holonet. It was very fun, and she was guessing but she had a hunch she wasn't dealing with a person but another artificial intelligence. She had poured her own processors over the issue and that seemed the best choice.

[FRAME]

FRAME had logged on just in time to witness this battle of minds commence. He enjoyed participating in such things, but not as much as watching them unfold. He had time to think of the answers: "O", "Keyboard", "Shelley", and "AI". Finally, he decided to add his own mind to the mix. But the trick was, he hid himself from the two others. One, he thought he recognized, but the

I am green, and unseen.
No body, and yet touch I glean.
Through air I glide, and space I fly.
Many have tried, but never will I die.

Smiling as much as an icon can, FRAME waited for the other two to notice his intrusion. Unlike the other two, he did not bother putting up a name. All that showed on the net when he talked was an underscore.

Oh, and hello, lovely Small One.
