John, Really! Aussies are well dispersed in all spatial dimensions, it seems. Scattered lot?
In Canada the 2-4 Law is as the Down Under version, but the "directly" is replaced by "inversely". We also have a fudge factor or cooks' constant which is a complex function of proximity of toilet facilities and lengths of queues emanating therefrom. The tendency of the Canadian version of the 2 - 4 Law is to keep us in a bit of a huddle whilst in the wilderness. I'm chuckling too, because I think that you've just been suckered in again. Thank goodness we are in the Commonwealth, or should I wait for a boomerang? Beautiful vernal sunshine here today approaching the stice, good for calibrating sundials.
