A:Young Fionn, still known by his boyhood name Demne, met the poet Finn Éces (Finnegas), near the river Boyne and studied under him. Finnegas had spent seven years trying to catch the salmon that lived in Fec's Pool () of the Boyne, for it was prophesied the poet would eat this salmon, and "nothing would remain unknown to him". This salmon is specifically called the "Salmon of Knowledge" in the text, and it is known to be the salmon that fed on the knowledge at Segais. Eventually the poet caught it, and told the boy to cook it for him. While he was cooking it, Demne burned his thumb, and instinctively put his thumb in his mouth. This imbued him with the salmon's wisdom, and when Éces saw that he had gained wisdom, he took the rest of the salmon to eat, and later gave Demne the new name Fionn, now that Éces fully understood the significance of the name. B:Is it possible that this text never made any reference to Segais itself, given the way that the fish is introduced? Answer: previously
A:In the 1994 election, North unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate as the Republican Party candidate in Virginia. Republican senator John Warner of Virginia endorsed Marshall Coleman, a Republican who ran as an independent, instead of North. North lost, garnering 43 percent of votes, while incumbent Democrat Charles Robb, a son-in-law of President Lyndon B. Johnson, won reelection with 46 percent. Coleman received 11 percent. North's candidacy was documented in the 1996 film "A Perfect Candidate". B:From the results of the election, is it possible that Coleman himself could have been tarred a "RhINO" by the right (for "Republican in Name Only") given the way that his campaign seemed to appeal more to Democrat-leaning voters than to Republicans?

B:Could one raise a principled objection to the results of this election, and perhaps propose a European-style run-off system, since the winner (who won fairly and legitimately) did not have a majority of all of the votes in his favor?

Eventually the poet caught it, and told the boy to cook it for him. While he was cooking it, Demne burned his thumb, and instinctively put his thumb in his mouth. This imbued him with the salmon's wisdom, and when Éces saw that he had gained wisdom, he gave the youngster the whole salmon to eat, and gave Demne the new name, Fionn. B:Does this passage lead the reader to believe that anyone who ate part of the Salmon of Knowledge, and not just the poet in the prophesy, could gain its wisdom? Answer: previously
