No, nothing to do with my apparent lack of intelligence. It asked me to identify all the drinks, which I did. It seemed that it also wanted me to say that a small bowl of [let's say] soy sauce was also a drink. I only got past once I went along with the computer's stupidity.

Why would you run a race with a pocketful of change jingling about in for the whole distance. OK you might need to get a bus back to the start but hey, have you never heard of paper money ?

z1000jeff May 2016 4:01pm, 30 May 2016 2,523 posts	Quote Pin z1000jeff It does get wet but it doesn't disintegrate and I think I'd rather change my note for some schrapnel later rather than run for 26.2 miles (or any distance for that matter) with a pocketful of change.
