This card's flavour text reads: "Why is a raven like a write-protect?" This is an allusion to Lewis Carroll's classic children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In this book, the Mad Hatter asks Alice "Why is a raven like a writing desk?". Various mishaps and adventures prevent Alice (and the reader) from ever learning the answer.

Gardner has recently added another:
"Because there is a 'b' in 'both'." |
