K> This comes down to a rule I was thinking about.. K> Currently there is no rule that says any answer we present has to be correct. K> Given that, it is certainly possible to posit a completely incorrect answer. The rule says that we must "answer the questions" from the immediately preceding valid rule. While there is obviously room for interpreting what that means, there is certainly a case to be made that when asked the question "What time is it?" the reply "Kitty kitty kitty babong kitty." fails to answer the question, even though it is AN answer. K> And actually.. even that can be gotten around, as the relevant restriction in K> 187:1 simply says "My whole is the form of rules in this round." K> 'My whole' can be interpreted in several different ways. Does it refer to the K> word that the rule was talking about? Does it refer to some manner in which the K> rule is presented (eg: one sentence per line, all lines start with the word K> "My", six sentences per rule, or some other interpretation..) It's entirely clear what "my whole" refers to. That riddle form is quite commonly used out here in real life. No other interpretation is at all sensible. -- Rule Date: 2002-06-28 23:18:41 GMT
