Subject: Acka: *ping*

Today is Thursday the fifteenth day of January and the Machine that goes
*ping* has gone *ping* today. Since I have been scholar, the Machine has
gone *ping* 12 times.

Scholar, I humbly request that the Magic Letter be "r".

I don't think you can do that. I believe that the machine has only *ping*ed
5 times since else...if picked the last magic letter. I'm not 100% sure
though since things were clouded by my inability to count and else...if's
inability to type. If you check and find that it is possible then can you
please reply so that I know.

Sigh. You are correct, Scholar. My request was hasty.

Okay, I guess I'll referee the Ghost duel between Vynd and else...if.
Flipping my Cosmic Coin, I see that Vynd has gotten the number 2, and
else...if the number 1.  Gentlebeings, start your ectoplasm!

It looks like you are correct; else...if's original request occurred on
January 3rd, and since then the Machine has only *ping*ed 5 times.
