Does anyone remember the name/location of this short story?
The story is about a technologically advanced robot that guards a treasure of great value.
To survive the encounter and be allowed to pass, one has to answer a number of questions.
Some guy attempts to cheat by using a search tech to find the answers as they are asked (Internet, lol).
The guy answers all the questions until the end. The last question is less about search-able knowledge and more philosophical in nature. He fails to answer and is obliterated.
I remember it was in one of those Fantasy and Sci-fi pulp books. I used to buy them at used book stores when I was a kid.
Any info is appreciated! Sean.
