Thank you!!!

"The Cyberiad" - is the book I was learning to read on!!! :) I LOVED the illustrations.

[ndydck]

BTW, do you know all the stories? I recognize the first problem, the world's dumbest robot, but what are the others? I also recognize the last part, the Machine that can create anything with the letter N. What are the other stories, with the signal, and the strange cubic planetoid?

[Winterbraid]

@ndydck The second story was about the brigand Gębon who robbed people of information instead of gold. Trurl punished him using a machine that extracted valid facts from Brownian movements of gas particles, effectively flooding Gębon with true but random and useless information. That was written before the Internet, by the way. I don't get which story the third puzzle is based on, sadly.

[Winterbraid]

@ndydck On second thought, the third puzzle might be based on the story about the Highest Possible Level of Development civilization, which inhabited a cubic planet and presented Klapauciusz with a substance that caused people to feel the pain and joy of others. Klapauciusz gave it to a volunteer to test it on a group of humans, which resulted in the unfortunate guy getting shot out of a cannon.

[ndydck]

What's absolutely amazing though, is that the doodle is localized. In Hungary, the machine could create anything with the letter S (instead of N). So in the Hungarian version Trurl and Klapancius asked it to create a broom ("Sepru"), some spinach ("Spenot") and Nothing ("Semmi"). They thought of everything, most awesome doodle EVER!

[mssfldt]

@ndydck wow, intersting information. Thanks :-)

[flamesfromblazer]

Made me FORGET what I was blasted googling for. . .!

[pokerpictures]

Absolute amazing!

[jimidnite]

This was fun to watch. Thanks!

[dsa4fun]

the music is wonderful!

[busycentipede]

The doodle is about the book "The Cyberiad", by Lem, and the two constructors depicted in it Trurl and Klapaucius.

It is about some of the aventures they live in it.

I have read that book one dozen times!
