So, you fancy a pint?

I know there are some among the membership who like a raise a pint or two, or just like beer in general.

This article has come up in some of my classes, and spatial analysis readings, it is based on the Traveling Salesman problem, how to hit the most points in the shortest route and time.
So a bunch of people at a University(where else) applied the Traveling Salesman to all the pubs in Britain, a mere 24,727, and they have calculated that it would take 3 years, and 28,000 miles or so to hit each pub, and have a beer.

Ultimate pub crawl in all of Britainā€™s pubs would take THREE YEARS to completeĀ* | Daily Mail Online

Yes my studies can be fun at times

After the first ten visits and ten pints or so, my legs go wobbly and turn to jelly and I am unable to walk without falling over,so I crawl home only to try another day.

Had a friend that was assigned to Berlin that decided he was going to have a beer in every tavern that was there. After he got across town he had to go back and hit the ones that had changed hands. He figured it would be a never ending quest.

I am sure that there are a number of us that have learned, the hard way, why they call it "the pub crawl"! My weakness is Murphys Stout.
