Larry is reknowned for having characters tell enormous porkies in his books, and only revealing the lie in a later story. Kjoon lee I am inclined to agree, but Ringworld's Children seems to clarify this, although you have to take a Protector's word for it. However, if you read the Ringworld Throne (or maybe the Ringworld Engineers) you'd notice that their intelligence is feared even by the Puppeteers. I agree a Pak would be unlikely to cooperate in such a huge project. Also, I don't remember the Pak having either the technology or the teamwork skills necessary to create the Ringworld. The article says that the Pak built the Ringworld-is that really the case, or did they just populate it? The article Ringworld is no help, and I don't recall when the identity of the builders was conclusively revealed. ![]()
