What if the person was driving on a turn around?

Two wrongs are only the beginning.

Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

hum...

Aren't you guys assuming a linear model here? What happens to the model when we find out that the subject attempting to make all these turns has had a glass of wine or two??? Would we then have to resort to using proc nlin??

Art,

Taking your diagram one step further,

+------+ | | | | | ^ | | v | +------+ <-b <-a <-b <-a | +------+ v | | ^ | | | | | +------+

if you take four +90 degree turns and end up going the same direction, and/or you take four -90 degree turns and end up going the same direction, with the positive and negative directions, along with all of the electromagnetic energy and radiation in the visible light radiation, ultraviolet, rf, x-rays, gamma-rays (natural or manmade), will that stream of photons which are traveling massless particles in a wave-like pattern cause you to feel any different after going in the positive direction or in the negative direction, or will you feel any different between walking straight ahead and after walking both directions thus cancelling out the positive and negative impacts, will you feel the same or different? Or will the Parallel Path theories cause you to walk more easily and efficiently when you walk the original forward direction after you have walked both +/- directions.

Ron,

Question David? Even for Friday humor? Shame!

He could have been coming from a perspective like the following:

+------+ | | | | | | +------+ <-b <-a

Where <-b is the before person and starting direction, and <-a is where the person ends up after taking 4 right turns. Depending upon one's persepctive, of course, to the left of where they started.
