PINOCCHIO'S NOSE

Recently some students at a university whose name we were unable to discover exercised their brains by undertaking, apparently voluntarily, a mathematical problem.  Pinocchio's nose was supposed to elongate every time he told a lie.  By applying abstruse mathematics, they worked out how many lies he could tell before the length of his nose caused his neck to break.  It was thirteen.
The great brains of tomorrow are obviously being taxed.
