Manny:
Here's my version of the committee's assessment of the AMSAA
experiment. It does not differ, in substance, from Laddie's.
The more I think about what we heard and saw, the more baffled
I get. (By the way the Professor Tart experiment, using students to
guess which of ten numbers had been selected by a random number
generator can be done on a TI-58. Why all the folderol about a
micro computer and lights escapes me.)
