I do intervals of trying a lot of random moves and then resting when it's my opponent's turn. I figure this is good for 17,000 calories per game but I don't know about the after burn.

    Gawd, I hate to honor this with a response.....but......The brain does burn 20-30 percent of a person's calories.....So, you are really not as funny as you think you are being.

    If he is doing random moves there may not be a lot of brain work involved. :)

    The after burn is just the whisky you drank while playing. Nice and warming on a cold night.

    It is only 17000 if you win. 3.33 if you lose.

    Okay. smarty pants.
    But am I wrong to have given him the benefit of the doubt that he was winning?
    C'mon, tell me.
    Am I wrong?
    Thought I was being a generous soul......Sheesh.

    Of course your not wrong giving him the benefit of doubt. It is @northcascades after all and he is a pretty smart guy. B)

    (Hoping flattery will get me everywhere)

    Cheers, h.
