There are only three ways to meet anyone anymore (Note the use of "positive anymore" in that headline.

Can you solve the frog riddle? (The answer of 67% assumes that frogs are placed randomly. If male frogs croak to attract females, and females tend to show up when males croak, then my guess is there's a higher than 67% chance that one of them is female. On the other hand, if males croak to chase away other males, and frogs don't get chased away after one croak, then... well... the stump was probably the right option. Presumably frogs can tell male from female even if you, the puzzle-receiver, can't.)
