Other times Hilton came up
Was he annoyed that at the end of Ticket to Ride, you're not in but a pest. This guy has very high demands of his board games, I would say. I think everyone else accepts the fundamental conceit that the end of Monopoly, you don't get 30 grand and the Hilton. Yeah, it's interesting. It's another interesting leap, isn't it, that he went from Monopoly to rhinos.

I've got some stuff on hotels. Okay. There was, there's a really good article in The Economist about the various standards that hotels have to stick to. So for instance, the Hilton chain of hotels, there's a manual that stipulates that staff have to answer the phones after three rings exactly. For instance, whereas intercontinental, you have to wait four rings. Is that right? I used to work for intercontinental hotels.
