You are drawing all the wrong inferences in your effort to boost your weak ego. I presented the data from DELL as is.
You are just struggling with it and attributing the struggle to me. Not only that you are not dealing with all the data. Just selected pieces of it.

By the way, you should stop beating your daughter...<G>

Hi Jozef Halada; Yeah, picking on jim kelley is kind of cruel. But if you don't do it, he just goes on and on. And anyway, it doesn't seem to bother him.

By the way, my experience with playing games with children is that they actually prefer an adult opponent who gleefully attempts to win every time. It is far more satisfying to beat a 42-year old who is clearly and obviously attempting every subterfuge (cheating even?) in the book than it is to beat a 42-year old who is trying to lose.

The secret to getting this technique to work is to carefully choose games which have a sufficiently large element of chance that all players are guaranteed to win with a decent probability. At the same time, be careful not to keep long running scores, if there is some element of skill, you may discover you are not so smart... But try your hardest, kids love real things.
