As long as people know which numbers go in which direction, they could draw it on a piece of paper with the board already drawn in it.<br /><br />And of course, we want you to be there, Joe. If I seem keen on the idea, it's not because I'm glad you won't show up, but because it's an interesting logistical problem.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-20081119820520843622013-12-15T23:40:03.215+00:002013-12-15T23:40:03.215+00:00Actually I've got a better idea.
