Alan suggested that a man could pass as a woman if his
typed replies to messages fooled most men into
believing him a her. Internal and external states were
not mentioned in detail as I recall, he thought them
irrelevant. Some problems are undecidable
Alana set a different test.

I don't see the correlation with the price fluctuations of tea in Chinese 
markets.

Nor do I perceive any causal or synchronous relation with the market
equilibrium for icythoids of recent date.
