WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody LoungerOh but you solution was so cool and the page break method is so, well, boring. Is there a way of flagging a page as ‘DO NOT PRINT’?

WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody LoungerOk, great. That worked perfectly for the page number but it didn’t update the page number on the table of contents. Got an equally great suggestion for that one.

WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody Lounger1) no idea
2) maybe later
3) no idea
4) who melts it, I drink it!
5) I hope that no-one says that black and white are colours – black is a shade and white is a tint
6) a murder of crows
a parliament of owls
a coven of witches
a clutch of eggs
a sheaf of arrows
a bundle of rags

WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody LoungerWOW – a personal reply from woody – another thing gets ticked off my to-do list! Now all that I need to do re the lounge is to get a star post.
Sure, mentioned me by name is fine and if you can include this web site (http://www.geocities.com/ruff_hi/%5B/url%5D – my home page), especially the part about how to make vegemite toast, that would be great.
Thanks,

WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody LoungerI’m real sorry I started this post now. Anyway, 10 looks correct to me. You even got two that I had missed (8 and 9).
Well done. I suppose it really should be BATSPERSON!

AskWoody LoungerGreat work. I had nine too but I missed the interference one.
So, that leaves one more way of getting out. And the reason I started this silly puzzle is that I was called out for this reason on the weekend

WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody LoungerOk, ground out is really a force out – so I would lump all of these into just one – FORCED OUT. So, ground out to pitcher and the second out in a double play is one – FORCE OUT! Same with a pick off and a caught stealing – these are both TAG OUT

AskWoody LoungerEthan,
You mention some knowledge base articles – which ones?
Cheers

WSRuff_Hi
AskWoody LoungerYeah – that is the answer but I’ve always had a problem with it. It assumes that person B is playing with a straight bat. What happens if person B really hates person A and, more that being first to annouce what colour hat they are wearing, they would perfer that person A got it wrong. In that case, it could go like this … person A is wearing a blue hat. Person B looks at A (sees blue), looks at C (sees red), waits until C doesn’t say anything, therefore concludes that they must be wearing red. THEN thinks, now if I pause, then person A will go though the logic you mentioned and annouce RED – oh how sweet that would be when they take off their hat and see blue. So … person B pauses and pauses … and BINGO!
But wait, it gets worse, what if person C really hates person A and B!
