Editor's opinion: Choose Problem Solving!

In a Problem Solving Contest, a problem will be selected by me and given to the contestant population. To solve this program, you must create a program that accepts some input and prints out the solution. You must figure out how to solve the problem, and write a program determining that.

NOUN IS NOUN.
VERB NOUN NOUN?
NOUN VERB NOUN?

and prints sensible answers based on the questions asked, and based on the data given.
