As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we are hosting the Mathematics & Multimedia Blog Carnival this month.

To make it more interesting (and slightly weird), the MathFour.com team has associated some arbitrary information (for various media) with each article.

In other words, these questions are answered for each:

1. Who is the ideal person (alive or dead, real or fiction) to record the reading of this post?
2. If this post were being made into the lyrics of a song, what should the genre of music be?
3. What type of costume would be worn during an interpretive dance during the performance/reading of this post?
4. What type of video game might be created based on this post?
