There is a lot of confusion about how much dual is needed for the
instrument rating, and whether time with a safty pilot can be included.  
I've had several instructors (plus second-hand info from someone at the
GADO) tell me that all 40 hours must be dual with an instructor.  But I
believe the correct interpretation (based on what I was personally told
by GADO, and based on my own repeated reading of that section in the FARs)
is that only 15 of the 40 hours must be dual with a CFII, and 25 can be 
with a safty pilot.  The additional stuff about 20 hours with an instructor
refers only to time in a simulator (and all of any simulator time must
be with an instructor).
