Let's see now. We have two Caves, each with the shadow of a chair, each
Shadow exactly the same. This leads to some questions:

1. Is it one Cave and two Shadows, or one Shadow and two Caves?
2. If I shoot the chair, does either Shadow remain, and which
    Shadow is the true identity of the chair?
2a. What if I shoot the Cave instead?
3. If I upload the chair, do I need the Cave to see the chair's
    Shadow?
4. If I can't distinguish either Shadow or Cave, where are the
    required Hidden Variables?
5. If I exchange Caves and Shadows, does any Information get
    transferred?
6. Are the tiles on the floor of the Caves done in a Penrose
    design?
7. Is Hemlock an entropian drug?
