i came back to this with pencil and paper.

ax yourself "how many ways can i get here?" "...and here?" "and how about here?" "and this?" "what about that?"
"you just add up the shits and by the end of if you are set?"
"you can always just double up the number and forget the bottom?"


so 20x20 grid.

oh uhm i just send you a letter, but i forgot to mention: the book's in german. which would make it even uncomprehensibler. but it would make a good coffee-table book to impress.
