You know, if you're going to try to use invective to manipulate me, the least you could do is actually use it. But I shall do it anyway, more to prove my point about obscurity than anything else. To negate your supposed 'advantage', I shall make all three comments about something you are probably unfamiliar with.
1) My favorite view from a temple is from Kiyomizu-dera.
2) My favorite type of okonomiyaki is the Nagoya style.
2) My favorite district of Kyoto is Higashiyama.

That's absurd! Playing just when winning is practically guaranteed? Hmmph.
I guess 1.

This more 'playing to win' than 'playing only when winning is guranteed'. No matter what I put, you could always decide randomly, and have an even 1/3 chance of winning.
I'll tell you if you were right after Mike makes his guess.

There is no number 3. I guess number 2.

Oops, It appears Ben is right. However, I'm afraid I am going to have to get you to specify which number 2 you choose.

The first one. With the pizza.

Besides, if Mike is going to insult me by proxy in an attempt to get me to play, the least I could do is do my best to make him lose.

The Answers -- Albert, 16:00:14 April 17 2003, Thursday
Sorry, Maryna, but I prefer the view from Daihikaku-ji. This is not the view in question, but that little building in the upper-left quadrant is the temple, and there's a very nice view of Kyoto through the hills.
Sorry, Ben, but I prefer Okonomiyaki in the Hiroshima style.
Sorry, Mike, but there is no number three. As this was an honest mistake on my part, I have no qualms about taking advantage of the fact that you didn't read the question properly. An answer along the lines of "Higashiyama..." or "the third one" would have been acceptable. I feel even less guilt about it, since I find it likely that you chose this one because of incorrect memory rather than actual knowledge..
