Yes, but when you posted the problem, you never mentioned
the forum where the question was asked and never mentioned
that it was a Putnam problem until I challenged you for
the source. Up to that point, it appeared as if it was
_your_ problem (but intuitively, I knew better).

So, out of curiosity, what was the forum in which you got the
pill problem, and why did you not bother to mention the forum
when you imported the question to sci.math?
