Can't predict? What are you taking about, you just predicted it! If the process were iterated N times times then all 2^N copies will remember spending half their time in Moscow and half in Washington , and none will see 2 cities at the same time; and this is not gibberish because the 2^N copies are looking from the present into the past and are just being asked what they remember, they are NOT being asked to look from the present to the future in a world with 1p duplicating machines and predict who will get some mysterious thing nobody can define or point to called "*THE* the 1p", > > So the next time they went into the machine they would take roubles as > well as dollars, to cover both possibilities. Please explain just how this bets works. When its all over who decided who gets the rubles and dollars and how do they make that judgement? Yes I know the ONE who gets *THE *the 1p gets the money, but exactly what is *THE* the 1p and how is it determined who has gotten it?
