The way to find a missing something is to find out where it’s not. It isn’t here. I’ll mark this “X”. It isn’t there. I’ll mark that “Y”. It isn’t underneath the apple. Mark the apple “HKI”.
Conrad: It isn’t in this keyhole.
Sally: It isn’t on my knee.
Ken Bahn: Mark the keyhole “K300”. Mark the knee “57B”. We just jot down all the places where it isn’t and gee whiz. Very shortly we were looking where the missing object is.

Ken Bahn: 842-J.
