    If a man speaks in a forest when there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?

                Who's been WolframAlphaing then? Their full answer:

                Because the higher, the fewer. (According to the old riddle referring to the centrifugal governor--called a "mouse"--on a steam engine which rises as the engine's rotation speed increases, causing the arm to partially close the steam valve and reduce the rotation speed, meaning that the higher the mouse rises, the fewer rotations per minute the engine produces.)
