Tommy Hamlin, age 11, of Dallas, Texas, and  Jeremy Hudson, age 11, of Chester, Va., for their question:

Is there really an abominable snowman?

About two years ago, Sir Edmund Hillary   the first to conquer flount Everest   set forth again up the snowy slopes of the Himalayas. With his team, he hoped to prove once and for all whether the yeti, alias the abominable snowman, was a real or imaginary creature. The problem is now settled. There is no yeti, no abominable snowman, and there never was,

Sir Edmund s team proved that tracks, said to be made by the yeti, were actually made by bunny like animals. A skull, said to be that of a yeti, was found to belong to a Himalayan mountain goat.
