This is how clueless I am.  At reading the sentence about the missing ring I wondered at first;  "Did he steal a ring from her?"  It took this 61 year-old a minute to grasp that he took the ring in order to get her ring-size!  (I must admit, I would never have thought of that!)  Gary 

"mais leur magie demeure avec le spectateur"

--> why cant the verb "rester" be used?

Does the past tense structure require agreement? For example, I can say:

"Il s'est fait couper les cheveux."

Would I also say:

"Elle s'est faite couper les cheveux."

I'm asking because I answered one of the test questions as "Je me suis faite brosser les cheveux" but it was marked wrong.

thanks, Scott

I understand that this is an idiomatic phrases that means "I know something about ..."  Just curious.  How do the reflexive "me" and the preposition "y" refer to or mean?  "I am familiar with myself" and "at ... in that area"?  The "y" seems redundant since you say "en moteurs" at the end.  Why not, "je me connais en moteurs."
