Game and Riddle



::Alfredo el Bufon brandishes a board.::

I have a Three-Men's-Morris set here.

         +-+-+
     *   |\|/|   @
     *   +-+-+   @
     *   |/|\|   @
         +-+-+

Would anyone care to play?  I'll make the first move
now, but you can start the next round.

         +-+-+
     *   |\|/|   
     *   +-@-+   @
     *   |/|\|   @
         +-+-+

And, so that I won't waste bandwidth by simply
reporting one move, I will also pose this riddle:

Consider this parchment I have. It reads

      every lady in this land
      has twenty nails upon each hand
      five and twenty on hands and feet
      all this is true without deceit
