(3) How many pieces at most does Chameleon capture in one move within
Ultima? in Rococo instead? Why the difference?  (4) What is the minimum
Fool's Mate at Alice Chess? (5) Consider practical piece values the way
Betza does without particularly computer aid. First, here compare Rococo
Cannon Pawns and Centennial Quadra-Pawns, neither able to promote. Of
course, Cannon Pawn benefits from larger board in general, compared to
Quadra-Pawn. At 10x10 Cannon Ps. are superior, whilst 8x8 Quadra-Ps. Where
would be the cross-over point, 8x9, 8x10, 9x9, 9x10? Which of the two have
higher piece value and better winning chances on those intermediate sizes,
other things being equal? // Now the upcoming decade of the teens, after
these aughts, will probably not see us get so sophisticated as Barton's:
(Z) ''By how many seconds a year does proper time in Singapore drop
behind a hypothetical reference clock fixed relative to but far away from
the sun, (a) due to the orbital motion of the earth; (b) due to its
orbital motion jointly with its rotation? (Orbital speed is u = 3 x 10^4 m/s, and
the speed of rotation at equator is u' = 460 m/s. Pretend that the axis
of rotation is perpendicular to the orbital plane.)''
