You know you are a go addict when you begin to apply opening theory to your street vending business. Suddenly the Mexican food guy on the corner finds he 's been approached by one of your hot dog guys. Not one to be intimidated, he makes a phone call, and about an hour later your hot dog guy has been pincered by another burrito vendor. He then phones you and explains the situation, whereupon you dispatch another employee to the scene to effect a one space jump. Of course in theory this formation can be cut, but it would require the burrito guys to set up in the middle of the street. (They’re working on it.)

Not very efficient, all things considered. Plenty of food to go around though.
