The Answer (short story)

"The Answer" is a science fiction short story written by H. Beam Piper. It is not a part of either Piper’s Terro-Human Future History series nor his Paratime series.

It made its first appearance in the December 1959 issue of Fantastic Universe Science Fiction.

Synopsis

It is 1984, fifteen years since the nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union devastated the entire northern half of the planet Earth, and now nuclear scientists Professor Doctor Lee Richardson and Comrade Professor Alexis Petrovitch Pitov are working together on a project in Argentina. During their research, they have created fifteen kilograms of negamatter iron, and they are going to drop it from space to see what happens.

The resulting explosion has a very distinctive signature, and Dr. Richardson realizes that that signature is the same as the one that occurred at Auburn, New York. The American government had assumed that the explosion was the result of a premeditated attack by the Soviets, and had retaliated, resulting in a general exchange of nuclear weapons. During the course of analyzing the Argentinean explosion Dr. Richardson realizes that the “Auburn Bomb” was not a bomb after all, but a negamatter meteor.

Film festival

A film festival is an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events. Some film historians do not consider Film Festivals as official releases of film, like Jerry Beck. The best known film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, the latter being the largest film festival worldwide, based on attendance. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest major festival. The Melbourne International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world. A 2013 study found 3,000 active films festivals worldwide—active defined as having held an event in the previous 24 months.

Answer

Generally, an answer is a reply to a question. It can be solution, a retaliation or a response to it.

In law, an answer was originally a solemn assertion in opposition to someone or something, and thus generally any counter-statement or defense, a reply to a question or response, or objection, or a correct solution of a problem.

In the common law, an answer is the first pleading by a defendant, usually filed and served upon the plaintiff within a certain strict time limit after a civil complaint or criminal information or indictment has been served upon the defendant. It may have been preceded by an optional "pre-answer" motion to dismiss or demurrer; if such a motion is unsuccessful, the defendant must file an answer to the complaint or risk an adverse default judgment.

In a criminal case, there is usually an arraignment or some other kind of appearance before the defendant comes to court. The pleading in the criminal case, which is entered on the record in open court, is usually either guilty or not guilty. Generally speaking in private, civil cases there is no plea entered of guilt or innocence. There is only a judgment that grants money damages or some other kind of equitable remedy such as restitution or a permanent injunction. Criminal cases may lead to fines or other punishment, such as imprisonment.

The Answer

If it pours when you rain
Can it pour on me?
Can I sip a little slower?
Can you moan on beat?
Couple questions I got picturing your feet
Like saying kicks but them shits don't stink
Like you wear them every day them Converse pinks
And you got them tights on that can make your pink
Stand out, no doubt, Imma dive right in
Give me a minute, I need the right timing
You know it's real when she says time out
Hear them sounds coming down as the air climbs out
First round kinda quick, first course of the meal
You know, going kinda slow, tryna find your feel
Stick around, be the entree, shaking it real
You need a rap cause it's a wrap, I just fucked that deal
You made with Tammy when she did your hair late last week
Now we sweat up on the pillow in these two tone sheets
I mean, I got some questions, you know what it be
How you smell so good? Why you running these streets?
How's your smile so righteous, the prettiest teeth?
Why you taste like a five star bonne appetite?
I mean, I got some questions, you know what it is
How you stay on point while you handling beers?
How you look so fine with no makeup on?
Yeah, these questions could make this song
She was tatted on the back
And it blew my mind
Usually I wouldn't waste no time, but
She was tatted on the back
It was so divine
Used my fingers to trace them lines
She was tatted on the back
Yeah, I love that shit
Inked up, she was so damn fine
She was tatted on the back
Yeah, she was tatted on the back
Oh me, oh my, oh you won't tap
So fast, so slow, so we don't stop
Your ass could pass as a perfect ten
It ain't all about the booty, you the perfect blend
Tell me, how you make your morning breathe stink so good?
Like, that beach melon that the toothpaste should
Like, you got them eyes that can brighten the hood
So every single minute I be feeling I could
When I'm next to you the snooze button stay on repeat
It's like five more minutes, we can kiss in our sleep
It's like five more minutes, we can wrinkle the sheets
It's like five more minutes, I can play with your cheeks
How your skin so smooth baby, I gotta know
How you working three jobs and still go to the store
Buying groceries and numerous things you like to get
Meanwhile, what a style to slow, so keep it fresh
You don't play no games, you ain't about it
Messing with the same old lames who ain't grounded
You prepared to make that change if they ain't clowning
I could be the man you need, I'm well rounded
You don't play no games, you ain't about it
Messing with the same old lames who ain't grounded
You prepared to make that change if they ain't clowning
I could be the man you need, let's do it right
She was tatted on the back
She was tatted on the back
She was tatted on the back
She was tatted on the back
