mind-twister

The Spokesman’s former editorial page editor weighed in to say he’s “ashamed to say I worked there,” while a current news columnist called it “an utter mind-twister.”

In the case of this mind-twister, an evocation of his longtime muse Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking-Glass,” Mr. Morell seems to be raising the challenge to the viewer: “You figure it out!”

That kind of mind-twister has helped birth all kinds of epithets for lab-meat.
