- Kassandra: Rich, wanting for nothing, and calling me over to help. Doesn't make sense.
- Demokritos: Ah! A mind that thinks for itself. Someone save me from this horror.

The Dunce Conundrum was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Kassandra met a philosopher in Patrai who was attempting to develop a new theory.
Dialogue
While in Patrai, Kassandra came upon a man who called for her.
- Demokritos: You! Come here. I need your help with something.
Kassandra approached the man.
- Demokritos: Come to see the richest man in Achaia, have you?
- Kassandra: You don't look rich.
- Demokritos: The richest person in any land is the one who wants for the least. And I want for nothing at all.
- Demokritos: Relax, relax. The name's Demokritos. Renowned thinker of thoughts, writer of writes, questioner of answers.
- Kasssandra: I'm... Kassandra. And I've never heard of you.
- Demokritos: Probably says more about you than me, Kassandra. Now, you came here to help, hmm? So happens, I've uncovered the whereabouts of three divine mathematical discoveries.
- Kassandra: Mathematical discoveries. Really?
- Demokritos: Yes, really. The theorems, when combined with my own, will unlock the greatest mystery in the universe - which, as you know, is a place where mysteries strive to remain locked. Bring these three theorems to me, and I will reward you handsomely.
- Kassandra: So, you get the theorems, and I get a reward... From a man who seems completely disinterested in drachmae.
- Demokritos: Drachmae is for idiots. What I offer is far greater than that. But first the theorems.
- Kassandra: Fine. What are they?
- Demokritos: Only the greatest achievements of rational thought - the original transcriptions of the Golden Ratio, the Pythagorean Theorem, and Zeno's Paradox.
(If players choose "What do you know about Zeno's Paradox?")
- Kassandra: Tell me about Zeno's Paradox.
- Demokritos: Myself excluded, Zeno of Elea was the world's brightest philosopher, known for writing paradoxes that could stump anyone.
- Demokritos: His work was thought destroyed, but I happen to know the priests in Lokris saved it.
(If players choose "What do you know about the Golden Ratio?")
- Kassandra: About the Golden Ratio...
- Demokritos: Ah! The divine number. It's a guiding principle in architecture, sculpture, and is found in nature, too. The original is wasting away in the dirty hands of sculptors in Argos. It should be with a mathematician... like me!
(If players choose "What do you know about the Pythagoras Theorem?")
- Kassandra: Where am I going to find the Pythagorean Theorem?
- Demokritos: It's all around you, of course! Deceptively simple, but subtly mysterious, the equation was apparently etched in stone. I heard a tale... It was lost in sunken ruins between three islands that form a triangle.
(If players choose "I'll go now.")
- Kassandra: I'll find these theorems for you.
- Demokritos: Come back as soon as you have one.
