And the answer is, "Either Washington or Moscow, but not both". Many people have tried it and they all agree: "I ended up in Washington about half the time and Moscow about half the time, but never both". Naturally, they will expect next time they go through that they will end up in one or other city with 1/2 probability. You will tell them that they are talking gibberish, but they will ignore you. > -- Stathis Papaioannou -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
