If the woman gossip, 7 women know of 6 unfaithful spouses and 3 know about all 7. If the 6 ask all the others HOW MANY unfaithful spouses they know about and get a truthful answer, then the 7 know they are amoung the cheated on within a matter of hours. That night... bang, stab, choke, club, hack, uh... you get the picture. Or, does this bend the rules too far?

I would have appreciated the link Infidelity , but never mind.

Let's think this through. Suppose wife A (whose husband is cheating) is asking wife B (whose husbant isn't) how many B knows to cheat. The B pauses to think about it, adds the number but DOESN'T include A's husband, because she wouldn't have tell A the truth about A's husband. So they are NOT always truthfull, so neither are all wives at answering that question.

And of course the answer would have got to be more beautiful than that, especially since for a whole week nothing actually happened.

Yours,
Cristian.
