Finding the car in X would require the crew to walk (or pull) the tracks and the line up all of the spots in order for B. By keeping X less specific, the crew ends up spending a little more time on this job which extends the play value.Rich Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054981701699480223noreply@blogger.com
