John Clark understands the setup but not the question because a very odd word was used in it, "I". Not that predictions, correct ones or incorrect ones, have anything to do with a sense of personal individuality but John Clark predicts that John Clark will experience all of the above except for #0. John Clark will be able to narrow that down as soon as Bruno says which of the 2^(16180 * 10000) * (60 * 90) * 24 John Clarks is Mr. I.
