  10. >>> Q: How many letters are in the answer?
  11.  
  12. After giving it a great deal of thought and consulting with nobody
  13. in particular, but resorting to a great deal of wanton typing with
  14. little or no point, I have decided that the definative answer, for
  15. all practical purposes is no finite number, but sensitive to the
  16. circumstance, and in this specific situation totals exactly three
  17. hundred letters, no more, and no less.
