var answer1="People say that I know everything, but that’s not always true. If there is something I don’t know, there is no way I would know I don’t know it, so I can’t really tell you what I don’t know. As far as I know, I know everything. You might say the same thing about yourself. However, you may not know that my father Nonus is the real know-it-all.";
var answer2="The areas where we live are covered in a canopy of trees, kind of like rainforests on earth. It is very dark, even in the daytime. There are many predators, so we spend a lot of our lives in nearby catacombs (cubic miles of cave mazes) near the central rainforests. There is almost no light in these caves, so before we had the technology to light them, we used our large pupils to catch the reflected light from our glowing eyes. ";
var answer3="I have an inner eyelid, just below the surface membrane, that can protect it from sudden flashes of light. More importantly, I have super quick reflexes to protect it. My tentacles can move blindingly fast to protect the eye, when they need to.";
var answer4="Not upright, but if I need to cover distance, I leap. While in the air, I curl up in a ball with my tentacles surrounding my head, and land on the ground rolling like a ball. I use my tentacles to keep pushing and can roll long distances at a pretty good speed. Do you want to race?";
var answer5="They sense heat. Part of the glow my eye puts out is infrared radiation. So, if the walls of a cave are very dark and don’t reflect light well, my antennae can sense the reflected infrared light instead. Some of our scientists think they play a part in my reading minds, but that remains mostly unproven.";
var answer6="Right now, you’re doubting whether I am telepathic. Any other questions?";
var answer7="I promised Scribo I wouldn’t ruin the stories he sends to Earth (Cogno: The Legends books) by telling what happens. Some very unusual things happen to my sisters … I mean … my sister, Dela, in the stories. I need to keep my word to Scribo and let you find out by reading his stories.";
var answer8="The honest answer is that I don’t know. I haven’t seen her for over thirty years, since Dad took me away. I suppose—and hope—she is still at my home planet. I will find out soon and let you know.";
var answer9="He calls it his “scepter.” He tells everyone it’s just a walking stick. But it does carry a little something extra … the granddaddy of all memory sticks that carries everything he’s ever learned and everything he’s ever experienced. My Dad has carried an implanted video camera for most of his adult life. He records nearly everything. He thinks that the more years of experience he has, the greater the chances that somewhere in those experiences lies the answer to whatever question he is currently wrestling. I’m not sure that it makes a lot of sense. Dad’s a little different.";
var answer10="I know what “fingerprints” are, but we have no need for them. Our eyes have easily distinguishable features that we use for positive identification. For example, the vein patterns in my eye are unique. The patterns in my iris are also unique and can identify me among millions of others like me. ";
var answer11="Yes, I do know it. But it is very personal to Volo, so I can’t say. You’ll find out in Book Three of the stories that Scribo sends to Earth (Cogno: The Legends), so I don’t want to spoil it for you.";
