You haven't cleared up the apparent restrictions with the question. Above you 
imply that it can't be one with a "set" answer, which appears to rule out any 
question I know the answer to.

If all you are doing is giving me the answer (Your site says "Before I attempt 
to answer your question I must read your mind what it is!"), then you have a 1/2 
chance of getting it right (Heads for Yes/Tails for No). There's nothing there 
about determining the question also. Is that a service commitment or just a 
bonus ?

Yes, that's where your link takes me. Isn't that what we've been discussing?

P.S. My Usenet server limits cross-posting to three other groups. That's why I'm 
deleting some of the groups you've added.
