      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.)

                            Sorry Dave! Everyone wants to post their famous "one-liner". All of this is making me feel more like I do right now than I did awhile ago.
