Silent Guest

Darkness is no obstacle when you swap light for another sense.

The question

A guest in a dark room can’t see anything, yet they read an entire book. How did they do it?

Hints

Do not rely on sight alone. A different sense can parse a page without any light.

Answer

The guest read the book through touch—by reading a braille copy. The dots on the page translate the story without ever needing light.
