For heaven's sake re-read your own statement above and then carefully re-consider the question you are being asked, and that question only. After Bruno has been copied each copy must be in precisely the first-person position you describe. It follows, as a precise consequence of your own statement above, that the first-person position of each is now indeterminate relative to any prior prediction. Resist being distracted by the jointly-describable third-person situation of both copies considered together. This joint situation corresponds to *the first-person experience of neither copy*. Consequently you are not being asked about that; it is beside the point. The point is simply that "The only first person experience I know directly is my own". Got it now?
