I'll play, so long as I'm in Eugene's team. ;-) A team game has never been tried (to my knowledge) so we cannot be sure whether it is a good idea or not. Personally, I favour the individual game because it seems more sadistic and because it forces the beginners to *really* get into the game and learn new stuff. In a team of four, some team members may be lazy and let others do all the work. Heck, if I was in Eugene's team, I would go lie on the beach all day so as to have a nice tan for our team's victory parade. ;-) Permit me to make another observation. In Ton's game, Spiff won on 131 strokes. Ian Phillips (141) and me (138) were in the middle of the field. Yet if Ian and I had seen each other's solutions, we would have posted 130 strokes and won the game! So, it brings a new element of luck to the game as to whether your teammates solutions happen to complement yours or not. Also, a mixed game, with individuals competing against teams seems unfair. /-\ndrew
