Скачать или смотреть The Riddle with No Answer from Alice in Wonderland

In Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter asks Alice a riddle:
"Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?"
When Alice asks for the answer, the Hatter replies
"I haven't the slightest idea!".
Lewis Carroll hadn't written an answer to the riddle when the story was published, and it was never supposed to have one. But that didn't stop people coming up with their own answers...
