It's the sort of case you might expect Encyclopedia Brown to tackle.

Two kids seem to have cheated on Professor Harpp's final exam. Can he prove the culprits did it - before it's too late?

But when McGill University professor David Harpp suspected some of his students were up to no good, he didn't hire a boy detective for a shiny new quarter. He did the job himself.

Zeno of Citium (The Stoic) (sometime called Zeno Apathea) (333 BC-264 BC) was a Hellenistic philosopher from Citium, Cyprus. He was the son of a (probably Phoenician) merchant and a student of Crates of Thebes, the most famous Cynic living at that time in Greece. Zeno was, himself, a merchant until the age of 42, when he started the Stoic school of philosophy. Named for his teaching platform, the stoa ("stoa" is Greek for "porch"), his teachings were the beginning of Stoicism. None of Zeno's works have survived, but his teachings have passed on, including his main concept that tranquility can best be reached through indifference to pleasure and pain.
