In Response To: Definition of "next" (Tom Keith)

What Rich said. A "next!" move is an "obvious" move. An obvious move is intuitively correct, made in a flash without deduction or reasoning. Obvious moves are not necessarily easy to figure out or to explain. Depending on the definition of "easy," I suppose. And on one's figuring and explanatory powers. But also depending on what one already knows, intuitively.

What is the smallest number N for which an N-roll v. N-roll position is an "obvious" initial double?
