Yes, that is the intended answer.           on Dec 21st, 2005, 5:00am, Grimbal wrote: I was saying that since the room is delimited by the walls, the walls are not really inside the room, but around.  So there is no wall to consider. Generally speaking, inner part of the walls is always within the room.           ChunkTug: stop solving my riddles!
