[Poisoned Line-eater bait]

Joe, a typical Massachusetts driver, heads in from suburbia on Mass-Ave through
Cambridge. As he gets to Harvard square, he faces the view of a green light and
thousands of jay-walking pedestrians of all ages, dress styles and inherent
coloration schemes.

Joe curses loudly in several languages and creeps his car forward in the vain
hope that the pedestrians will let him pass. Serious consideration is given to
running the bastards down.

Shortly there-after he gets to his destination further into Cambridge, and
parks. He must now walk to his destination and cross Mass-Ave himself.

QUIZ:  Does he:

1.01: Wait for the cross-walk light?

1.02: Wait for a green light his direction, whether accompanied by a cross-walk
light or not?

1.03: Cross when he reaches Mass-Ave, unrelated to the state of the lights at
the time?

(Hint: Answer >= 1.025)

I don't think BBN cares what I think about this stuff.
