My apologies again for the mess my over-enthusiastic forwarding of the Beckett
poem has caused to some of us; I hadn't found it on my shelf, had turned to the
web, and, bingo! within a minute, it popped up, and I delivered it at once. Bad
style, though.

Here's a riddle for recompense: What was the problem Beckett was trying to solve
by this poem? (actually, he did solve it, which earned him 10 pound sterling,
that sum being still a lot of money in those days.)

The ten best answers will be included in the  raffle of a couple of Virtual
Fuerst Metternich, the best from the Rheingau.

A clue: Follow the link to St. Augustine!

Good Luck,

Joerg
