Some of you may say, ``Wait! ... white rays
from a golden source?'' To you, I say: (pick one)
- The source is golden by reflected light, but white by emitted light.
- The rays are golden too, but they're reflecting off white vapor in
the air, so they look white.
- It's poetical n' stuff.
- I'm trying to fool you. For my next trick, I will describe the appearance
of the beam from the movie projector as it passes through the dense
methane-ammonia atmosphere of the local theater.
- It was all a dream.
Remember, this is a multiple-choice test, so there are
no right answers.
(However, if you pick one of the wrong answers, you will regret it
for millennia.)
