Okay Geoffrey, how about this one (no math at all!)--
Suppose you were suddenly told you *must* (whatever makes it imperative for
you-- life or death, $50 million prize...) meet someone (not necessarily a
close acquaintance) at a particular place somewhere in the world at noon
local time on, say, January 1, 2004 and until then you will have no contact
with this person. Furthermore, because you are on your way out the door to
begin a pressing mission, you only have time to utter one quick phrase about
where you will be (and you could be on the phone or email, so you cannot just
say "meet me here"). Being of the same Western middle-class cultural
background that I presume most Lugnet readers share, where do you say you
will be?

Did you say Eiffel Tower?
Even I did, and according to Bob P., I'm only halfway normal!
