I mean... Wow!

And, even better, once I had received answers covering
every single version mathematically possible for four
questions with two possible answers each, people came
up with a third answer for some of the questions.

Although I'm a bit unsure still as to what is actually right,
I'm also tremendously relieved. No matter what I write,
nobody will ever be able to prove I'm wrong ;-)

Special thanks to Sean for pointing out the existence of the
elements of style and to Victor for providing the link.
Very special thanks to Paul for pointing out a mistake
I wasn't even aware I made ("Which" instead of "what" is
correct). He's one of the precious few people who point out
one's mistakes without being asked for it. Which is about the
best way to omit making the same mistake again I
can imagine. Unfortunately most people do not do this. Even
if one *does* ask them to.

This was overwhelming... Did I recently mention that I
I love this list?
