Since heuretics lends itself more to demonstra tion than to explanation, let me appropriate the genre of the riddle, however loosely, to articulate a current project. The riddle will function as the tale of the GATTt heuristic that I will use to generate this text, which in turn will have to do with how to use riddling in an electrate pedagogy.
