I think I've caught the shits off my boss. If this is true then tommorow I would be very grateful if you could post another maths riddle because I am numerically retarded and I'm sure you'll keep me puzzling away for the entire day.

just pour some algae killer in the pond. then the algae never takes over and you are free to swin in the pond. but wait one half hour after eating otherwise you may cramp up.
