excuse me but since the word 'fish' isn't even mentioned in the
puzzle it can't be part of the answer. There is nothing even remotely
resembling fish here in the second puzzle. So I gather its a
joke made up by Douglas Adams. Or are we to assume
the last one with a hole in the pet department owns "the" fish?
