Abstract
IT would be profitless to deal separately with the latest “answers”1–5 to my question; their diversity tells its own tale, and the writers may see their misjudgments corrected in my book6. I have through the years put the question in various forms to meet successive obscurations, but in vain. Though wholly understandable to any ordinary layman it is at once submerged in such mathematical and metaphysical mysticism that normal readers either conclude that its simplicity must be deceptive and I deluded, or express to me their astonishment at the denseness of the “authorities”. I try once more to free the stark simplicity of the matter from alien technicalities.
