And the process can be repeated the other way round. And you can add the second method for safety. This being said, people being polite enough to not force a dessert on someone, but then cheat to do it anyway, but in a way nobody knows it, would they go to the restaurant together? | |

| Dec 28, 2022 at 1:11 | comment | added | Florian F | Yes. OK. But there is a much larger probability that a meteorite falls on the restaurant and they don't get any dessert. Ever. Accidentally forcing some people to eat dessert isn't the worst that can happen. | |
