What a nice round figure and neat where it is, 2 x 1000! No...
you won't solve quickly, it takes some persistence and the real
worth in all this is not the mere figure but the approach to it.
How it must be reasoned with... (now I am reminded of a line in
Pride and Prejudice where Elizabeth is besides herself over
Wickam's elopement with her 16 year old sister. He is a bit of a
scoundrel and she blurts out to her sister Jane, "How is a man
like that to be reasoned with?" The desert is like that, but
there is a way, and a more honourable one than the way Wickham
had to be dealt with.
