There are 252 ways to win at connect four

In amongst all these awfully important questions, I think a riddle is in order. An oldie, but a goodie, in my humble opinion.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

If you get the right answer, you'll get nothing but the satisfaction that you got it right.

[No, wait, he can make it fun for him, too.]

...That and a mystery gift.

Alas, you're not a winner today, too bad, try again next time.

Okay, so what's the answer?

You don't get the answer if you lose, you know. There are other people still playing the game.

You can write privately on these things.

Oh, gosh, really? I never knew that. In all the years I've lived here, I never realised that little trick.

So why aren't you doing it.

Not that hot on sarcasm, are you?

I got the sarcasm. That's why I asked why you aren't doing it, and not making fun of you for not knowing how.

Double sarcasm, hmm? How very witty

Uh, it was a real question.

So you...honestly want to know why I'm not doing it?

Do you think if you tell me in private I'm going to tell everyone else the answer?

Not at all. I'm not telling you because I don't want to.

Then I'm declaring your answer wrong and my answer right. I win.

If you feel that will make you feel like you've achieved something, go right ahead.

Ew, no. I hate achieving things.

So you're one of those content to have things as they are types?

I'm the "whatever, I don't care" type.

A teenager, then?

[OOC: -- don't want to!]

I'm nineteen. So... yeah.

[Definitely not an adult, as far as she's concerned.]

Well, there we go then. Teenager.

But other teenagers are annoying.

Which makes sense, because they're people, and people are annoying.

And you don't think that you're annoying?

Never thought about it.

It might be worth to have a little self-contemplation, there.
