That was an interesting read - though I skipped after the "game is over part". I'll have to go back and read the rest later for "what he should have done."

As an aside, I'm now worried about serial killers trained in using information theory to prevent themselves from being caught. Although not having a supernatural Death Note makes that a lot more difficult.
