HINT: Remember the puzzle title. Why would one particular year be particularly good for my making a point in the situation in question?? | ||

Does it matter who hosts the sedar? The actual location of the meal? We went to one last year but due to two other engagements on the same day this year we couldn't attend (typical - no invitations for weeks, and then three on one day). Would this reason for not going fulfil the same criteria as your example? Or would you have to turn it down regardless of having a particular reason to do so? Supposing we couldn't go last year, but could this year, would something about 2005 supersede 2004? | ||

I wouldn't go in any case, but there's something special about this year Supposing we couldn't go last year, but could this year, would something about 2005 supersede 2004? yes | ||

Is the something special about this year a religious thing? Obvious to non-religious people? Would it be obvious worldwide? On particular continents? | ||

Is there something about this year which gives you a particularly good excuse for not going? or is it something that would make it difficult to find a good excuse? | ||

Is it something that happenned to you this year? if so, was it expected? Is it something you did this year? intentionally? Is your age relevant? a significant birthday? or anniversary? Will the same thing apply next year? any future year? | ||

How long were you expecting it - less than: a day? a week? a month? a year? a decade? Is the year 2005, as opposed to your age in the year 2005, relevant? Is the number 2005 (other than the year) relevant? | ||

so did you want to be able to say something like, 'I was invited to a sedar this year but I said no because X'? where X is something new about you? something that has been true about you for the first time this year? where X is a reason you could not go? where X is a reason you would not want to go? would you be in a position this year to be able to give a particularly witty reason for not going? could you be in this same position if you were male? is it relevant how old you are in relation to other people? are you entering any special and relevant age band? | ||

Does the change relate to how you interact with others? in general? in a specific situation? with specific people? are you interacting with new people? no longer interacting with certain people? | ||

Are these specific people: one person? less than 5? 10? 50? 100? the same 50-60 people who might invite you? Have you become a member of an organization? Have you formed a relationship with someone who might be offended if you attended? | ||

Is the specific situation: formal? informal? work-related? Would you interact with these people in the same way they interact with one another? Are they a group of people? or a number of separate individuals? Do they all know one another? also, do the people who might invite you all know one another? |
