I collect and study books on gaming with a focus on the writings of Edmond Hoyle. See my blog at http://edmondhoyle.blogspot.com and my online Hoyle bibliography at https://booksongaming.com/hoyle/bibliography/
At the 24-hour mark, I'm at eleven loose ends. Err...twelve.

So π1 and b1 are conjugate? As are the inserted a1 and a2? I might have said π1 a² b²(b1+a²) with a note in the signing statement that b1 is unsigned and b2 is signed "b1". Am I missing something?

I knew it was the Dublin books that were 12mos gathered in eights and fours. I looked at the code and I did it with markup (<sup>) rather than Unicode. It works both for html/xml and for wordml.

If only Rebecca Burleigh had felt free to use her forename on her imprints. I have a similar example available upon request.

I'm here, but do much better with card games than chess!

Humans don't do such a great job on "coverage decisions" either. The health care insurance model is badly broken...

Last year, Garland was paired with Mobley, Mitchell with Allen. This year it is the other way around. What is the theory behind the change? Do the data support it? Much thanks. I enjoy the pod!
