It's good, but not right.


It did involve interaction between a human and computer, though.

Can only think that I read about that recently.

What is the alcohol by volume ABV of something that is classed as 100 proof (in the Uk)?

I think it's actually 57.07. 50% is the US version. Woods 100 rum which takes it's name from it's proof is 57 % ABV.

Anyway close enough back to Harry.
