Kurt and I discussed this as we watched the play, and we both wondered what was going on. Apparently it goes like this: The first set of coincidental minors forces the 2 minutes. At the end of 2 minutes, the 4x4 must be replaced. The second set of 2 minute minors are no loss of manpower. So, there must be a 4x4 for the first set of matching minors, and no replacement for the second set. Therefore, someone must come out of the box after 2 minutes to make it 5x5. Hope that explains it. BTW, I walked to the meeting place on Saturday, but did not find anyone. Sorry I missed everyone. I just hope I was in the right place. ***************************************************************************** * Jayson Moy RPI '89 '93 * One of the Voices of Rensselaer Engineer * * [log in to unmask] * Hockey, Baseball, Football, and Basketball * * The "Asian Invasion" * on Crystal Clear 91.5FM WRPI, Troy *EASM* * *****************************************************************************
