I tried to ask it of Wolfe \nwhen he was on the People chat, but I was so flustered that I \nconfused Blue with Green, and Gene gave an accurate, but unhelpful \nreply.  I made up for it later though...\n\nI think this question definitely should be on the train, and if it \nmatters, I think the first formulation is the best.\n\nCheers,"
