Looks like next year, I will continue to move around in a random fashion even more…

That wouldn’t just happen to be the site from A hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, would it ?
Ah, well. Maybe if the both of you sit still, someone will point one of you to the other.
The trick then is to not move at the same time. >
oooh tricky…
This one’s really funny
or : stay put in the most crowded places
This mathematical problem gives me a serious headache.
One of the last ‘qué?’-moments on the internet for this year I hope.
@ Jonas: Yes it’s inspired by Hitch-Hiker’s.
Mathematically, it’s always better to go and look unless you think there is a better than 50% chance she will be staying put and waiting for you. As far as I can tell, people tend to be less than totally sedentary, so looking gives you a greater probability of finding her. QED.
And I wonder why I haven’t found her yet… *facepalm*
