Come Back Geoff Kait!

asvjerry,

I think this is a case of a talent not understanding his own talent while scholars being able to discuss it in depth with all the hidden meanings and intricacies that eluded the original talent.

Scholarly yours,

asvjerry,

....I Could make an oblique ’crack’ about simplistic theories in regards to potently complex conundrums...

It is about wine bottle breaking into many little pieces when being swung, I think. Definitely oblique. Not straight(forward) at all.

Let me clarify what you really wrote...

A bottle of wine (a potent [12-15% alcohol] wine named Conundrum, complex because made of a few different wines), gets swung around. Swing is not a straight line, it goes in some sense obliquely. From low just behind and under your hip up towards the other side of your body in front of your shoulder and a little higher. Along the way, it hits an object, a piece of furniture or whatever else, and breaks. Cracks. Into a many little simple pieces that disperse and, along with dispersed drops of wine, reveal the complexity of what you initially had in your hand. As simple as that, but it is only a theory.

If it can launch an ocean liner,
then any way you swing it works for me.

thou hast swung this wine before it's time. ORson WELLsINGTON ism.

nonoise,

"If it can launch an ocean liner,
then any way you swing it works for me."

You may be on to something.

Conundrum has one sparkling wine packaged like a Champagne ("...this blend is produced in the true Méthode Champenoise...") which makes it suitable for ship christening. Now we cracked that part of the riddle, too.

By the way, to stay on the thread topic, the direction of the swing is very important.
