Wow, I'm impressed. I only have the International version of the 1948
rules, which doesn't include that rule. Also, my 1897 inland rules
don't have that, it is worded like the 1948 rule. Now I'm going to
have to start looking for my 1962 Chapman!

The good news is that saving those older editions helps you look up some
of "answers" people give to Rules questions.
The bad news is you need to be sure you use the up to date version when
answering, especially on test. G

You would probably have a hard time passing the modern-day test having
cluttered your mind with all the old rules. The same goes for Jeff Morris.

Forget the old and stick with the new.

Problem with that is, I've been using the Rules since the early 60's, which
means those "old" rules are all ready there.
In most cases it helps by making me aware that I might need to look further
into the "book" when an oddly phrased question arises or a certain phrase
shows up.
As for taking the test..... I wouldn't want to have to do it tomorrow.
