That's vicious. It reminds me of the medical oral exam where the last
question is "How many cranial nerves are there in Great Britain?" Of
course the candidate tries to remember how many people there are and
multiplies it by 12, on the fly. The answer is "One more than in the
U.S.", because one subdivided nerve is/was considered two distinct nerves
there.

resublimated thiotimoline?"
