Donald Trump said President Barack Obama had told him about a "big problem" for the US, but he wouldn't say what it was. What could it be?
"I was actually surprised a little bit," said the president-elect when telling New York Times reporters about his private conversation with the outgoing White House incumbent.
He said they had discussed "a big problem for the country", but refused to be drawn on the issue, telling journalists: "I'd rather have you ask him."
A reporter from the Times told me recently they haven't followed up on this matter with the president - not yet.
When I asked White House spokesman Josh Earnest about the issue, he said he couldn't reveal details of his boss' conversation.
So I've turned to 10 experts - from the media, political science, government and other fields - and asked what they thought the president said during the important meeting.
"Missiles are a big strategic vulnerability that crept up while the Obama administration wasn't looking," said Karako, explaining that as a consequence of the lapse the following has occurred: "Both provocations from North Korea that spook their neighbours, and also conspicuous Russian brandishing of nuclear weapons to bully Nato".
