After his spaceship landed on Mars, astronaut
Jonathan Mark disembarked and approached the first
Martian he saw.
'Am I headed for the geological dig?" he asked.
The Martian rubbed his stomach.
Mark knew that Martians could understand some
Earth-talk, but were not able to speak it. And astronaut
Mark, like so many Earthlings, could neither speak nor
understand Martian gestures. He didn't know whether
rubbing the stomach meant yes or no. But by asking
one additional question, Mark was able to find out.
What was that question?
