There, in Sherwood Forest, lived 10201 people. Everyone had a mate except the priest. Each person had written a song. Singing was contagious.
Every song was sung to every person by a singer (this includes the fact that each person's own song was sung to that person by some singer). The priest, to whom everyone sang one's song, had a song that everyone sang to oneself. The priest sang to each person the song written by that person's mate, and, having no mate, he sang his own song to himself.
Any singer who sang to a first person the song of the singer of a second person's song to a third, was the same singer who sang to the singer of the third person's song to the first person the song of the second person.
If it was Marian who sang Robin's song to Little John, who sang Little John's song to Robin? Who sang Marian's song to her?
