*applause* We have a thinker here ladies and gentlemen! OK Stut, for
the
$10,000 bonus....what should you return here and what is the least
amount of code you can do it in?

I'm not sure here, but are you being sarcastic? ;)

Ignoring the extra $ and moving on... I would code it like this...

function think(&$i)
{
     $i = 'am';
}

If I call think, then I am thinking, therefore $i should become 'am'.

If you return 'am' rather than changing $i IMHO you're deviating from the spec.

No sarcasm at all. And you are spot on!

Personally I prefer the potentially more accurate...

function think(&$i)
{
    $i = 'may be';
}
