Give them some random math problem, then: "If a train leaves Cambridge at
12:03 carrying 21 nerds and an elephant..."

Given that we're otherwise ready to test, very definitely! Once we have
a workable system to test with, I think most of the work is on your
end--there *will* be someone available for the actual tests whenever
we're all set to go ahead with them.
I forgot to bring this up last week--we'd like to start meeting
regularly, probably on Thursday afternoons, just to keep everyone up to
speed on AUI and air anything that needs airing. Oliver and Abby would
also like to show up with their set of issues about which we already
spoke briefly last week. Are you available, ideally at 1pm tomorrow in N42?
