The last time it happened, to the heat was added the excitement of a police launch stopping our little pleasure craft and demanding our names and business. Mental or physical I could not say.

Let the numbers thought of be, for example, 3, 7, 13, 17; the sums formed as above are 10, 20, 30, 24; the sum of the second and fourth is 44, from which if 30, the third, be subtracted, the remainder will be 14, the double of 7, the second number. The first therefore is 3, third 13, and the fourth 17.
