The teams gathered at the judges’ chambers for the final
adjudication. The Wabbit had applied various solvents (which he kept in his
fur) to the sticker - but it was still firmly glued to his ear along with some
paint from the prison gates. Skratch was the first judge to speak.
"It was very close. Very close indeed." "Both teams excelled in
different areas," said Robot," and I have computed the margins."
"It’s obvious we won!" cried the Wabbit. "Silence in my
court!" boomed a familiar television voice from Robot’s chest. "Judge
Judy isn’t on the panel!" shouted the Wabbit. "I’m running a Judge
Judy algorithm," said Robot firmly, "which I generated from no less
than ten thousand of her judgements." "Grrr!" said the Wabbit.
"The result is a draw in both sections," said Skratch. “The Wabbits
excelled on innovation and trickery," said Robot. “The Lapinettes were
best at cunning and rapid force," said Skratch. There was silence. "It
can’t be a draw," shouted Wabsworth from the balcony, "because I’m not
doing it again!" "No need," said Robot. "Team leaders will
assemble for a decider." Lapinette looked smug because she was more than
confident. The Wabbit groaned. "I hope it isn’t a quiz," he muttered
to himself. "The decider will be a quiz," said Robot. The Wabbit
pretended to smile. "I love quizzes," he lied, "and I know a
good question." Everyone turned to the Wabbit. "Why doesn’t glue
stick to the inside of the can?" he asked.
