Larry is alone with the DeLorean in the lab, for the first time.

<p>"So I just write down the number I see on the screen?" says Larry.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"Yep," says Richard.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"And what does this tell us, exactly?" says Larry.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"Well, when you come out of the [room], I'm going to type the number you give me into the computer, which
|
||||||
|
will make it show up on the screen before you wrote it down," says Richard.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"And what does this tell us, exactly?" says Larry again, exasperated.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"A number that neither of us picked," says Richard.</p>

Larry goes back into the lab. [Richard] looks at him expectantly. "Well?" he asks.

Larry looks at the screen. It's blank. "Well, hell," he says, feebly scanning the [room]
|
||||||
|
for another, hidden screen that might have a number on it. He doesn't find one.

Larry is at a loss for a moment, but then decides that the thing to do is to just write down a number.

He chooses six.

<p>Larry shows Richard the blank piece of paper. "Nothing on the screen," he says.</p>

Richard slaps himself on the forehead. "Of course! I can't believe I didn't think of that. If you
|
||||||
|
don't show me a number, I won't type it in, which means you won't see a number, which means no paradox.
|

Duh. How stupid of me. Forget I even asked."

|

<p>A look of alarm crosses Larry's face. "Is... is $(number) bad?"</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"No, no, it's just I would have expected something, I don't know, more random, or meaningful, I guess,"
|
||||||
|
says Richard. "You didn't just make up some number?"</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"Of course not!" says Larry, offended. "Go ahead and look for yourself. The screen says $(number)."</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>"No, no, I believe you," says Richard, and types a $(number) into his computer.</p>
