The correct pebble heap is 42.
But 21!
But 7!
flogs self
The wrongness of 21 makes its argument even more compelling. Hmm.
Would a pebblesorter shock artist place a single pebble right next to a pile of 719 stones? (720 = (3!)! )
Or 5 stones next to a pile of 251? (256 = 2^(2^3) )
Maybe even heap them leaning against each other, with a thin sheet of something separating them? So... perverted!
