    Alice has received a strange cry for help. Passing by the living room mirror, she is startled to see the following words written backward upon the glass: “Alice, we need a new queen.” Without a moment’s hesitation, she reaches out and discovers that her hand can pass right through it.

Whoever does the finest job will be appointed right hand to the new queen.
