re: sound of one hand clapping
the only possible answer to" what is the sound of one hand clapping" is," the sound of one hand clapping"
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
Welcome to the board, arostolder. The problem with that answer, is the questioner will assume you’re trying to be a smartass. Not that that’s necessarily bad, depending on who it is…
Terry Pratchett’s DEATH had the best answer, I think, which was “CL” (and the other hand makes the “AP”).
As Kat said: "Welcome to the board, arostolder. The problem with that answer, is the questioner will assume you’re trying to be a smartass. "
And people will post stuff like: “If a tree falls in a forest, will a pedant hear it?” 
Of course, by definition (almost any dictionary) clapping is the sound made by slapping two hands together making sound waves. Extending to the ears of others. :rolleyes:
I don’t think you’re a smartass but you’ve got to pose more intelligent questions.
Let’s go to General Questions.
Or perhaps…
No. I’ll let someone else do it. I’d be too nice.
