:lol: It seems like "Ajeeb" travelled everywhere--from Europe to North America, so that is our "Checker Trivia" question for this very very rainy day. :lol: (Cont.)

:lol: From the research that we have done the answer is "3", but it is very hard to really pin it down to an exact number. Bill Wall has done a lot of research on "Ajeeb", which I think you will find to be very interesting. Go to google.com--type in each of the following separately for different articles--Ajeeb, Chess Automatons, Automations, Turk-Ajeeb-Mephisto. :lol: (Cont.)
