Pfff, anyone who deals with big directories knows you should do ls -U | wc -l

I’m literally sitting in a coach as I read this. I jusst checked, and the time is correct.

That would a security risk. It would allow the micrsoft kernel to change what is written to disk.

Wait, who’s behind the bagels ?

Oh yeah that’s a good one

And also, if you’re representing a 0/1 matrix, you can just do away with the first column altogether.

If you want to translate “Rutsch” literally, “slide” is the better choice

Do you know how little that narrows in down?

It’s Kd2, isn’t it?

The solution is Nc8.

This is actually an easy one to find out. Here’s how I solved it: You can see in the given position, if black was to move, black could play Rxg8+ with check. This means that, if black is allowed to play Rxg8+ after white’s first move, then white is in check, and will not be able to mate on the second move. Therefore, white’s first move must make Rxg8+ impossible. The only four moves that do the trick are Nc8, Ne8, Rxb8+ and Kh7 (Kh7 doesn’t avoid Rxg8, but makes it a non-checking move). Out of those, it’s easy to check that only Nc8 works.

1. Nc8

• 1. … a6 or a5: 2. Ra7#
• 1. … R to anywhere on the B file: 2. Nb6# (with double check)
• 1. … Rxc8: 2. Rxc8#

Isn’t it a fractal in the broadest sense? I.e., a self-similar figure
