:-)

A bit off-topic: this is one of my fundamental 
questions about our odd 'hobby':

1) If one day someone announced that he solved it
   and it is indeed true, should I (we) be
   happy?

2) If one day I found the solution, how would
   I bring it?

3) If one day I (or whoever goes to Sartirana :-)
   found a document used by the VMs writer with
   the explanation how he did it (dictionary or
   encoding rules or whatever), would it feel
   like cheeting?

For me, I have a clear answer to nr. 1 but I would
be curious about others' opinions.

Cheers, 
   Rene
