Thanks, Zen for ending the mystery!

Sounds like a pretty complex set of rules. No wonder I've never been taught. They must have thought that it would take too long for me to catch on

On a side note, when I was little and it was still politically correct, the schools would send home various paperwork for my parents to sign (like permission slips, etc) and one of the questions would be:
"Is your child mentally retarded?"
My mom or dad would, of course, mark or answer "no"
Anyhow.................
For a period of time I was pretty sure that I was mentally retarded and they didn't want me to know, so they would mark "no" to cover things up. I had no reason to think that I was, no special ed or special bus. In fact I was a straight "O" student. But, I reasoned that if you were mentally retarded, people wouldn't want you to know or it would hurt your feelings. And if your were mentally retarded, you wouldn't know anyhow because you'd be too mentally retarded to know that you were retarded!
So............................
That's why I never learned to play Marco Polo!!!!
