Why *THE* 1-P and not *A* 1-P? There is more than one, so who's 1-P is Bruno talking about? > if the 0.5 prediction was correct?

The entire point of the exercise is to determine if the prediction that Mr. You has a 0.5 probability of seeing Helsinki is correct, but why bother even asking the Helsinki Man about anything? It can only be because Quentin Anciaux believes that the Helsinki Man is Mr. You, If the Helsinki Man is not Mr. You then it would be irrelevant what the Helsinki Man did or did not see. And no matter how often Quentin Anciaux repeats Bruno's experiment the Helsinki Man ALWAYS says Helsinki was seen; therefore the correct probability prediction of Mr. You seeing Helsinki would have been 1.0 not 0.5. Of course Mr. You may also have not seen Helsinki and seen some other city instead, but this is just a odd situation and is not a logical paradox because MR. YOU HAS BEEN DUPLICATED. > in MWI, the same question arise... which YOU > Yes it's exactly the same question, but unlike Bruno's thought experiment in the MWI the answer is unambiguous and crystal clear; Mr. You is the one and only person in sight who even claims to be Mr. You.
