[pct-l] Old Timers....getting lost & forgetfulness

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

No problems:

We are getting older day by day, and losing our brain substance day by
day. If we became completely idiot, the provability of wrong decision
is 0.5, because there are only two cases ( North or South bound ).

If we hike 10 days and make a decision at lunch time, the provability
of wrong decision is 0.5 in the first day, and the provability of
wrong decision in the second day is 0.5 , ..... Then, the provability
of wrong decision in 10 days is 0.5 X 0.5 X 0.5 ... = very smaller
than 0.5

If we hike 100 days, the provability of wrong decision became negligible.

Then, we can reach Canadian border or Mexican border without brain and
arrow in the long run, if we remember how to walk and how to eat.

When I was really tired I'd lay my pole pointing north up trail as I did find myself once with Smiles in the Marbles heading off in the wrong direction.  She laughed and corrected me.  That's OK, as I had corrected her toward Mather Pass in deep snow when other forces wanted to hike due west.  It seemed we needed each other, and I needed that arrow.
