Re^5: variable set to 0 ? 0 : 1

Solution:

Smith, where Jones had had "had had", had had "had"; "had had" had had the examiner's approval.

In other words, in the exam that they both took, in one particular question, Jones wrote "had had", and Smith wrote "had". The correct answer, according to the examiner, was Jones' "had had".

I, where your father had had '`had had "had had", had had "had"; "had had" had had`' had '`had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had`'; '`had had "had had", had had "had"; "had had" had had`' had had talexb's approval.... ;-P i.e. "I had X where your father had Y; You were expecting an answer of Y." X and Y are slightly different ways punctuate the original string of hads. -Blake	[reply] [d/l] [select]
