a minimal effort

Darvauchies and Collogril devised a technique for estimating one's suburbane distance to the next chthonochrone using only a pair of rubber bands, a parsnip, and a (one, and only one) ten terahertz gloopfschein inversion diode while stranded on one of the Greater Valavian Islands after their ship beached itself on Yolladar and they were forced to swim the Berruthers Isthmus in search of food bearing isles. They were stranded for two weeks without pens, paper, computers, or abaci, and yet they managed to come up with a technique which was three orders of magnitude more accurate than the best secret government project at the time. Coincidence, I ask you, that the ship which upended itself on an ocean-beetroot was named after the Vice-Bleerongfast of Smutherington, Sar Vlartstak Binzoy, or that the manufacturer of the boat's primary capstan was Ovollochy Conspiracy-Mongerers, Federated?
