	But Rule 666 says that the Magic Number is set to the base value 
of the Magic Number at the end of each cycle... which implies that it is 
set *once*, then, and isn't updated later when the base value changes.
	Thus Malenkai's argument is that the base value changes but the 
Magic Number doesn't automatically follow it (until the next cycle).

I retract P1705; it has served its purpose.

After review prompted by Mohammed's and Guy Fawkes' comments, I
have revised my opinion and come to agree that the magic number
for this cycle is, indeed, 257.

And even more errors, as I managed to completely fail to record the points
for Guy Fawkes's last 3 retractions.

Typo on my spreadsheet.  Now fixed.  /dev/ is correct.

My spreadsheet uses the pointlog as its input; if that's not correct, 
there's not much I can do about it.

Subject: Acka: *ping* (other thread)

A semi-transparent Machine manifested itself in Xanadu today, while 
pondering this apparition, I think I fell into a sort of reverie, for I 
believe the Machine tried to speak the Truth to me.  Except in its faint, 
only half-there voice, all I could comprehend was

IF AND ONLY IF today ****** ** *** **** **** ******* **** *** **** 
********, THEN the Machine That Goes *ping* shall go *ping*.

Subject: Acka: Price of Land

The price of land increases by 1%.  I'm not sure what it was,
but A$ 50/kaa seems to come to mind, therefore land is now
A$ 50.5/kaa.
