So according to Bruno Marchal the correct answer to the question: *"What one and only one city will YOU see after YOU have been duplicated and become two?"* IS,... drum roll please.... *"* *The "helsinki man" has become 2, and the question was on its first person experience possible, so the only way to get the answer is to ask each copy."* And the reader is free to attach any meaning one wishes or no meaning at all to the pronoun "its". And apparently Bruno also gives the reader freedom to give any answer they wish to the original question because despite all the verbiage generated over the years Bruno has never once provided a n answer to it . Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe Bruno did answer the question and I just misunderstood him, maybe Bruno meant that the name of the one and only one city was Thehelsinkimanhasbecome2andthequestionwasonitsfirstpersonexperiencepossiblesotheonlywaytogettheansweristoaskeachcopy. If that was the intended meaning I'd appreciate it if Bruno would provide the latitude and longitude coordinates because I'm having difficulty finding a city by that name on my globe.
