Nabokv-L: We also know Gradus's (a Bad Guy) and Dolly's  (a Good Girl).  I suspect Quilty's, and  Pnin's V.V. are 4/23 or a variation of it.
Fran Assa: Okay.  I give up.  It was a flighty idea based on incomplete information.   Jansy, I meant "good guys" to include "good gals".  Anyway, if we stick with the theory, then Gradus is not a bad guy which leads to some interesting conjectures, but I've overdone the conjecture bit.  I enjoyed the VN Birthday celebration.  Do we have to wait a whole year to do it again?

Jansy:  Good boys and good girls, then. Following what theory  Gradus is endowed with life and a certain "goodness"? ( I always thought he'd been an invention of Kinbote's who, in his Zemblan world, shows signs of pedophily?)
Right now, I'm totally in the dark ( I didn't understand the "4/23/' bit either) ..
