The thread on the Chevalier de Mere’s Paradox brought up a hazy memory from a back issue of GAMES magazine:

(first line forgotten)
“…add to this some salt and tin.
Tell me, ladies; tell me whether
In this mixture there is sin?”
I can’t believe someone remembers this. My nickname is Earl, which is probably why I have never forgotten this. Yes it was from a Games magazine issue from the 80s. Here is the complete version:
Fire and water mixed together
Add to this some salt and tin.
Tell me ladies, tell me whether
In this mixture there is sin
Don’t know what it means though but it’s stuck with me ever since. I wish I still had that issue of the magazine though.
