Somewhere a butterfly's wings flapped gently in the breeze.
Katie's memory is no longer in question (sorry ever to have doubted), but
what was the interpretation? Could Douglas Adams not do maths, or was it,
as Ford Prefect said "a cock up"? Was the question imprinted in Arthur's
brainwaves the wrong one, or a distortion of the right one? (P182 in my
copy).
Answers on a postcard to GP-UK for your virtual prize. Alternatively, in
view of the book this all refers to, a bigger better prize if you can think
of the right question.
