conundulum

A conundrum that constantly vacillates between two extreme perspectives.

My fiance is wavering between living in a tipi and living in a cob home. But I am not convinced about either option. I would rather live in a traditional structure. It is quite a conundulum I am facing here.

Maestro's Conundrum

The "Maestro's Conundrum" is an addendum to the Palma Sutra, the ancient vedic discourse on self-pleasure. The Maestro's Conundrum is when you weave your baton through the piano wires while the soloist plays Tchaikovsky.

Mr. Mozart: "For shame Wolfgang, what sounds are those? Are you not in tune?"
Wolfgang: "Why yes father, moreso than you could know."
Piano Teacher: "Fear not Herr Mozart, for young Wolfi has solved the Maestro's Conundrum"
