With duplicating chamber stuff if the bet was "you will see Moscow" I don't know how to resolve the bet because I don't know who "you" is; maybe Quentin would have to give the Moscow Man $5 and the Washington Man would have to give Quentin $5, but that seems rather silly. What would be the point of Quentin Anciaux making such a bet? John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
