Just a thought. Does six strokes of the cane hurt six times more than one stroke?
Having had six on several occasions youd think Id remember, but I dont !
What I do remember is that I was more than interested in how many strokes I was going to get, the fewer the better. So obviously the answer to my question must be YES ! But is it by a factor of six.
And while Im at it why was I only ever given even numbers of strokes, 2, 4, and 6.
Never given three or five, why would that be ?
