    Scott
    I suspect that's close enough. Maybe a short person with an umbrella on rainy days?

    By the way, read this.

    Yes - he is a dwarf and on rainy days he has his umbrella with him. So he can reach the higher buttons in the elevator with his umbrella on rainy days.

    I think Scott was pretty much on the money.

    Hello gents...

    One quick riddle for you...

    What does a blind man see, a deaf man hear, and if you eat it, you are sure to die?

    Nothing. This message is too short. So there.

    Well, I guess he could do that.... Maybe he is a small person with a deep-seeded sense of umbrella propriety.

    OK. Here's one that should get you going..

    If n is an integer greater than two prove, without recourse to the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture, that the equation a^n + b^n = c^n has no solutions for non-zero integers a, b, and c.

    Note: you may write your solutions in the margin if you wish. If the margin should prove too narrow to contain your proof, you may leave your solution tantalisingly unwritten for several centuries.

    OK, I'm done - since we're 21st century I typed it in the margin of my browser. It fit because I used a font size that ensures it.
    If you want to see it you'll have to wait for the next generation of web browsers where you could see my browser as well, not just yours. I don't think it'll take you few centuries, but who knows... I don't make the technology.

    Does gugi's answer satisfy the riddle-writer?
