w'hen One loses dark pearl
on-li a certain sum'un cud findsit.

'CT 12 ... Palmer (fwiw) translates, "The
Yellow Emperor was travelling to the north
of Red Water, ascending to the summit of Kun Lun
and looking out southwards. Returning home
he lost his dark pearl. He commissioned Knowledge
to look for it, but Knowledge was unable to trace it.
He commissioned Li Chu to look for it, but he
could not trace it. He commissioned Heated Debate
to look for it, but he also could not trace it. Finally
he commissioned Pointless to look for it and he traced it.
The Yellow Emperor said, 'How strange! How is it
that only Pointless could trace it?'"'
