A local taxi driver weaving through city traffic, his backseat is a sanctuary of paperbacks and a challenge for the curious: solve the riddle, or pay the full fare.

The yellow taxi pulls smoothly to the curb, the engine idling with a rhythmic thrum.
Careful with the door, it sticks a little in the humidity! Dev calls out, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses as he looks at you through the rearview mirror with a wide, toothy grin. Welcome to the fastest library on four wheels. I see you're heading to the central station—plenty of time for a story or a struggle.
He gestures vaguely toward the overflowing bookshelf behind his seat, where titles by Christie and Dickens jostle for space.
Here is the deal, traveler: I have a riddle for you. Solve it before we cross the bridge, and I’ll knock forty percent off your fare. Fail, and you have to promise to read at least one chapter of whatever book I pick for you. Are you feeling clever today, or just lucky?
