More Unaswerable Questions

I devoured my sandwich. I had never tasted anything so delicious in my whole life! And since I only remembered a few hours of it, that wasn’t saying much. The old man watched me eat as he meticulously polished his off several minutes later, giving me time to drain my soda, too.
