All right, I'll stay rooted to the spot for the rest of the game. Fair enough?

No, keep moving. Makes it more fun! It would just be aggravating if I found you only for you to have moved in the meantime.

As you wish. Two more questions and then I'll move on.

I think, though, in order to give people a chance, I'll only move after the odd-numbered questions, from 15 onwards. (I'll put "moving" or "not moving" after my answer to remove any doubt.)

I'm going through options now, and there's one that has you going Baker Street Finchley Road Wembley Park (now). I've got this image in my head of "Fed up of Zone 1, let's get out of here!"

Oh, another thing - I've got the Bakerloo and Northern Lines separate between Charing Cross and Waterloo, even though they both call at Charing Cross, Embankment and Waterloo (because they're entirely separate lines), and I've got reversals meaning station reversals, not line reversals (e.g. Bakerloo Charing Cross to Embankment, Northern Embankment to Charing Cross is a reversal).

As such, my routes are currently allowing travel between Waterloo and Charing Cross prior to the Bakerloo question under the assumption that you used the Northern Line.

My question is: Am I correct about this interpretation of the Bakerloo and Northern Lines, and am I correct about my interpretation of reversals?

No need to tell me whether such possibilities have actually happened.

EDIT: No longer relevant, except about the reversals.

Before we go on, can I clarify what you meant by question 6? I interpreted "touched the Bakerloo Line" as meaning "moved to a station served by the Bakerloo Line". I have a horrible feeling that I may have misinterpreted it.

That is what I thought and I am trying to find you!

That was exactly what I meant by touched the Bakerloo line.

In that case, everything's fine. Carry on!

Oh, sorry. I forgot I also meant "started on the Bakerloo Line", though I'll go under what you thought, because that just makes things a bit easier. It doesn't really matter.

Have you ever been to St James's Park?

Yes. (14 - not moving)

[Edited to add the words "not moving"]

Are you currently on the Piccadilly Line?

Yes. (15 - moving)

I've got 13 options currently for your route so far, and 12 possible current positions. Makes a nice change from the hundreds I had before!

OK, here are all the questions and answers so far. Please remember that the move comes after the question:

Q.1: Are you in zone 1? Yes (moving)
Q.2: Are you on, or north of the Central line? No (moving)
Q.3: Are you on the District Line? No (moving)
Q.4: Are you on, or south of the District Line? Yes (moving)
Q.5: Is it possible for your next move to place you at a station served by the Victoria Line? No (moving)
Q.6: Have you ever touched the Bakerloo Line through the course of the game? Yes (moving)
Q.7: Have you ever been to Waterloo? Yes (moving)
Q.8: Can you catch a direct normal service to Stockwell? No (moving)
Q.9: Could your imminent one-stop move potentially leave you diagramatically above ("north of") the River Thames? Yes (moving)
Q.10: Has your route crossed the river at any point? Yes (moving)
Q.11: Are you south of the river? No (not moving)
Q.12: Are you on, or West of, the Northern Line between Waterloo and Edgware? Yes (not moving)
Q.13: Are you at an interchange? Yes (not moving)
Q.14: Have you ever been to St James's Park? Yes (not moving)
Q.15: Are you currently on the Piccadilly Line? Yes (moving)

From now on, I'll move after odd-numbered questions but not after even-numbered ones. I won't reverse, and I won't leave zone 1 (though I may have left zone 1 previously). I think that gives everyone a reasonable chance of finding me.
