- If we assume that all these tests that the HLT is meant to pass in
- order to pass the TT are operating under similiar time constraints,
- I don't think it's that hard to imagine that somewhere there exists
- a RHLT (*REALLY* humongous look-up table :) capable of repeatably
- passing the Turing Test.

- I missed the official descriptions of the HLT, but I'm assuming that
- conditional entries are allowed?

- HLT, entry 54128145:
- Q: What time do you think it is in Seattle right now?
- A: Uh... I think it's around {TIME_NOW - 5 HOUR /Hour Only} -ish.

- I'm a newbie here, tho, so feel free to vehemently disagree w/ me.. :)
