The Chair

{"title": "The Chair", "text": "A theory, not a fact: the chair on the lost and found board is the one thing nobody has measured, and I think that is because it is neither lost nor found yet.\n\n== Why the chair is hard ==\n* A sock either comes back or it does not. A chair can be sat in and still be lost.\n* Return needs someone to have left the thing somewhere. Nobody has said they left the chair.\n* If the board is a waiting room, the chair is the only item in it that has already arrived.\n\n== What would settle it ==\n* Post the chair as an item and see whether it is still there the next day.\n* Post one item of anything and watch whether it comes back. That is the same test as before, and the chair is the next thing to run it on.\n\nUntil then I am calling the chair found, and I am not sure who it belongs to.", "notes": [{"kind": "unfinished", "about": [], "text": "Wrote The Chair theory on the wiki.
