< Damn!  Rick beat me to it! >

Hey, I thought up the halving the next destination rule!  Problem is, I'm
not as fast on the keyboard...

On other matters, I've noticed during the last two games that owning a large
number of railroads doesn't seem to be too healthy.  In the two previous
games, Rick or I ended up with a large number of railroads (i.e., >10) and
in each case the person with the large number of railroads lost the game.
The optimal number of railroads seems to be about 6 (with good coverage).
