It is! It's one of the fancy things we can do in the Land Downunder. By the time we've dodged spiders, snakes, and Drop Bears, squeezing ten options into three bits is easy! Of course, we always keep a fourth bit lying around for when the tourists come through. 33% extra profit when we sell them the unnecessary spare bit.
