- Perhaps because those who have enough skill to become really interested
- in your version of the Twin Paradox already worked it out in the last
- go-around. Not that I mean any disrespect to this version. But I wasted 3
- hours last week working through all sorts of variations on the Twin
- Paradox with some mathematician colleagues last week, so I'm twinned
- out.

- Just in case it ain't abundantly clear to all those lurkers out there -
- the Twin "Paradox" is not a paradox, just an amusing puzzle.
