Kenya rises to power on the export of rhinoceroses . A Central African power block is formed, colonizing North Africa and Europe . When war breaks out, no one can afford the luxury of a rhino . Kenya withers, Uganda triumphs.

I can figure this out . Let's see . Um, well, beavers eat tree bark . The only tree bark I know that humans consume is cinnamon . So, I'll say cinnamon.

In a world ruled by a giant beaver, mankind builds many dams to please the beaver overlord . The low - lying city of Copenhagen is flooded . Thousands die . Devastated, the Danes never invent their namesake pastry . How does one miss that?

All right, I'm ready for my next question. In a world where rhinoceroses are domesticated pets, who wins the Second World War? Uganda. Defend. Kenya rises to power on the export of rhinoceroses . A Central African power block is formed, colonizing North Africa and Europe . When war breaks out, no one can afford the luxury of a rhino . Kenya withers, Uganda triumphs. Correct . My turn. In a world where a piano is a weapon, not a musical instrument, on what does Scott Joplin play " The Maple Leaf Rag "? Tuned bayonets. Defend. Isn't it obvious? You're right . My apologies. What the hell are you guys playing? It's a game we invented . It's called Counterfactuals. We postulate an alternate world that differs from ours in one key aspect and then pose questions to each other. It's fun for ages eight to 80 . Join us. All right . I like a good brainteaser . Give it a whirl. You're in luck; this is an easy one . In a world where mankind is ruled by a giant intelligent beaver, what food is no longer consumed? Uh...a BLT where the " B " stands for beaver? Leonard, be serious . We're playing a game here. I can figure this out . Let's see . Um, well, beavers eat tree bark . The only tree bark I know that humans consume is cinnamon . So, I'll say cinnamon. Incorrect . Obviously, the answer is cheese Danish. What? In a world ruled by a giant beaver, mankind builds many dams to please the beaver overlord . The low - lying city of Copenhagen is flooded . Thousands die . Devastated, the Danes never invent their namesake pastry . How does one miss that? This is ridiculous . You're just making stuff up. Is he always like this when he loses? Oh, yes . You should've been here for the great Jenga tantrum of 2008. You bumped the table and you know it. Perhaps it would be kinder to play a game more suited to his abilities . We'll close our eyes and count to ten while you hide. I'm going to my room. Very good, Leonard . But next time, don't tell us where you're hiding.
