I understand but here's a scenario.
AA0BB (uses paper log) works you on Friday,
He works you again on Saturday.(didn't know you're a dupe or "didn't care")
If he decides to eliminate you from his log as a dupe.....
does he eliminate the first or second "Q"?
He may figure.....you had him in your log... that he worked you the second
time because you weren't in his log.
in this case.. you eliminate the first "Q" he eliminates the second "Q"
and neither is in the other guy's log for the right day.
I don't think there is any right answer for this puzzle.
(but it's a good puzzle)
