Oh, I just love mysteries and puzzles...
A couple years ago when I visited North Korea, I could have sworn that I saw an enormous building in the middle of Pyongyang. I asked the guide what it was, and he told me that he could not see anything there.
How could he not see what I saw? Surely, this was a good puzzle.
But not for long. After a few days, I also could no longer see that enormous building either.
