Please confirm that you have read and agree with all the above assertions in my latest post. It is absolutely the best way to proceed. I need you to be with me every painful extra thought of the way.
The ball is in your court Alan. 'Fire Away' is not quite what WE need. Please, I ask you politely, to humour me. Confirm that you agree or indeed disagree with the assertions in my post.
I'll be off to bed soon. UK time.
Here are a few more things to ponder. I WILL NOT PROCEED until you confirm that you have read all of my questions and responded with agreement or disagreement with all of them.
Now some more tricky ones.
6. Can we agree that these are just plain and simple ordinary 6 faced dice?
7. Can we agree to refer to 'Two' as being 'deuce' for the avoidance of confusion?
8. Can we agree that from the meaning of the question, that we can reasonably assume that the 'partner' saw both dice? It's implied, but central to the question.
9. Can we agree that as implied by the question, that both dice had come to rest before the partner peeked at the dice? No 'Spinning dice'.
10. Can we agree that if EITHER one dice or the other dice, OR both dice landed as a two, that the partner would ALWAYS say "At least one of the dice is a 2."? Again, it's implied but important.
11. Can we agree that purely for the interests of clarity that one of the dice falls slightly to the right and that one falls slightly to the left as viewed by the 'partner'?
It's not a big sticking point, but we might later choose to refer to the dice by name.
I really hope that we can agree to the above as they are all essential stepping stones. If you disagree with any of the above, please say so now.
