=SDC= Q10: And they're not in Oz either
Jerry Friedman
They're down under, not up over, and they've got four kinds of love.
Who are they and how do they do it (with details, please)?

Lang got on well with them. That might jog a memory loose, but I
don't think it's googlable.

"In noncanonical novels by Pocket Books, Andorians have the four sexes
zhen, shen, chan, and thaan. In function and appearance, zhens and
shens are largely female, and chans and thaans approximate males, with
shens and chans the more androgynous of the pairings. in the
postfinale novels of Deep Space Nine this quadrigender paradigm is
cited as the reason for Andorian difficulty in maintaining adequate
population growth in the face of near extinction."
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/1558/Relaunch.html
"Like all Andorians, Shar has been raised to 'live for the whole' and
is expected to undergo the shelthreth ceremony with three Andorian
partners: Anichent, Dizhei and Thriss. [Gateways: Demons of Air and
Darkness (Pocket, 2001) by Keith RA DeCandido.]"
More detail than that I am not willing to find out.

Sometimes love is just love.

Well, yes, but this is the SDC, where it often pays to explore beyond
the obvious.
Four kinds of love that's "just" (well, three of them) love could be
Agape, Eros, Philios, and Storge, which would mean "they" are the
Greeks, but that's too obvious, and I don't know how to relate that to
the other clues anyway.

Taking another tack entirely, Sr Valparaiso would recognise the name
of their country, but would probably look for it in the wrong
direction.

I do it for your love: love-all (0-0), fifteen-love (15-0),
thirty-love (30-0), and forty-love (40-0).
In tennis, 'love' means a score of zero.
This usage apparently comes from the phrase 'play for love':
for the love of the game, not for money.

Nobody knows for sure. One suggestion is that it's from the French
l'oeuf, being an egg, shaped like a zero.

He'd be right about it's being entirely surrounded by water, though.

No; what do they say?
Why does a Frenchman never have two eggs for breakfast?

Because one egg is un oeuf!

Old World War One cartoon from Punch Magazine. Scots soldier on leave, family
clustered around.
Soldier: French? Och, 'tis a verra simple language. If you want an egg, you say
"Oof".
Family: And if you want two eggs?
Soldier: You say "twa oof" and the silly old fule gi's ye three, and you gi' her
one back. Och, 'tis a verra simple language.

I hope that the place is Amsterdam Island, where La Grande Marmite is
located, only because it's so very appropriate for AUE. The answer to
the question still eludes me.\

According to my French dictionary, une marmite is a kettle, pot or heavy
military shell

a while attracted by crocs. Not as in Bonny Dundee, so there's an Oz
tie-in. Yet the amor aspect continues to elude me. (Yes, sad, I know.)

I heard that it came from French playing,
and a Briton corrupted "l'oeuf" into "luv".

These people have, or rather haven't, only one thing in common with
those Munchkins, Gillikins, Winkies, and Quadlings, and love has
nothing to do with it..
Mix it up: we'll be off the rails, soon. (5)

If no one solves it by the deadline, and I can demonstrate that the
clues were sufficient, do I get to keep the sheep? Don't have any,
this year...

And dismissal for a zero score in cricket is a duck. And ducks have
down under. And the setter is a known duck-man.
All indications point to the duck people.
