The Bautista Conundrum 

When a point guard’s duty is to always pass it to the open man, but the open man is Ben every play.
Why does Ben have 20 shots in the first half? Must be The Bautista Conundrum.

The Biscuit Conundrum 

The calculation or guestimate required to work out just the right amount of alcohol and “vitamin powder” you can stand before having to play Sunday league at 10 in the morning.

Often miscalculated, leading to injuries, vomiting and disappointed teammates.
Richard: “What’s George doing over there?”

Jack: “Trying to work out his prematch limits.”

Andrew: “Oh. The Biscuit Conundrum.”

Daniel: “I hope he gets it right. He’s got a relegation 6 pointer tomorrow morning”

The Vegemite Conundrum

Originally developed by the ancient puppeteer “Master Fenwahbi” as a one off gag to fool the gullible Rankin Tribe in a mouse hunting competition.

The Vegemite Conundrum continues to put doubt on humble/fragile minds at every cornerstone of society.

It is often carried out for personal enjoyment at someone else’s expense.

Even when the effected person smells a tint of Vegemite, the puppeteer obtains enjoyment in knowing that for the fleeting moment before the aroma of Vegemite is detected that the presence of fear and embarrassment was experienced - the phenomena is not often spoken about.
