            I can't be more precise unless you want two different Cs!

            So is your C Cote, Cote d'A, or what?

            If it's Cote d'Argent then Anna's got it!

                                It was not on your card but in AA mythology an interesting alternative. Anyway is Anna going to do a D for her contribution to the result?
