Is there anything for me to "look up"? You are asking for page and line nos., but you don't say in what, or provide a link to anything, so all one can do is dream up some numbers and plug them in. > If you TELL ME what quote you looked up, that will work too. Quote in what? > If your answer is a set NO and you ask me for an answer then you > broke the TOS. Okay, let me get this right: I think of a question, which must be one of the three questions I offer, and you will answer that question by somehow using the page and line nos. I enter. Are you saying that I am barred from asking a question that has only one possible answer, or a question to which I know the answer? In any case, you have a 1/2 chance of getting the right answer, which is not unlikely enough to attribute a correct answer to mind reading.
