  • I don't like asking stupid questions.

    The doubling question isn't a "stupid" question, particularly
    if the asker is a beginner. But for more advanced players,
    the answer is incredibly obvious. With a 32 point lead and
    many sequences that lose contact, the roller simply has to double.

    But is it a take? I think I know what Tim would do.

    Most people sometimes do things they don't like.
    I don't like spinach, either. But I still eat it sometimes.

    Yes, very true and for most of us.

    I almost thought I was being assuming but on second
    thought I realized that there is a difference between not
    liking spinach but eating it because your mother makes
    you and ordering it from the menu at a restaurant...
