    Smile The reverse thread

    I've got this idea from another forum. It isn't really doing well there, so I wanned to see if BAUT would do better...

    Where did you get this idea from? It seems like an intersting one.

    The world is set up in the way that even if you don't really know what are you asking, there might be a simple answer to it.

    I've heard it referenced before. If I recall, the term they use is 'thread excavation'.

    Have you heard that threads like these are typically called "reversetipation"?

    I think The Two Ronnies, did a funny sketch of this 'reverse'tipation, quite successfully. In one of their programmes.
    Oh, more than two plus years ago....

    It was in the same genre as Mastermind. But answering questions in reverse(!).
    ...
    can't find a link/reminder of it...

    oh hey....I found it! Rather, it found me....just appeared as i was scanning the 'four candles..'
    I can't hear it (public browser/library), but I think that's the one in reverse...
