Logic-Eater

How the Logic-Eater eats

The Logic-Eater does not guess. They check the field spot for yellow, tap for a hollow sound, weigh the melon against its size, and reach a conclusion. At home it is cut into pieces of equal size, the seeds are counted, and the ratio is noted. They eat slowly and leave no evidence. Purple fits them, the colour of a detective reading late into the night, though the only case they solve is which melon is ripe. They are always right.

Signature habits

• Inspects the field spot before buying.
• Cuts pieces of equal size, then checks.
• Counts the seeds, for the record.
