OK let's look that up. So according to Bruno Marchal
the correct answer to the question:
"What one and only one city will YOU see after YOU have been
duplicated and become two?"
That question is gibberish, because it lacks the key precision needed.
IS,... drum roll please....
"The "helsinki man" has become 2, and the question was on its
first person experience possible, so the only way to get the answer
is to ask each copy."
And the reader is free to attach any meaning one wishes or no
meaning at all to the pronoun "its".
No, only on the first person state accessible.
For more see my post of 27/08/2017. You are just systematically
deforming the question, and then talk like it was gibbersih, but this
applies only to your own rephrasing of the question.
Bruno
And apparently Bruno also gives the reader freedom to give any
answer they wish to the original question because despite all the
verbiage generated over the years Bruno has never once provided
an answer to it.
Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe Bruno did answer the question and
I just misunderstood him, maybe Bruno meant that the name of the one
and only one city was
Thehelsinkimanhasbecome2andthequestionwasonitsfirstpersonexperiencepossiblesotheonlywaytogettheansweristoaskeachcopy
.
If that was the intended meaning I'd appreciate it if
Bruno would provide the latitude and longitude
coordinates because I'm having difficulty finding a city by that
name on my globe.
