Bishop Peter finds himself in the middle of an ambient atrium. There
are walls on all four sides and apparently there is no exit. The floor is
paved with square tiles, strictly alternating between black and white. His
head heavily aching - probably from too much wine he had before - he
starts wandering around randomly. Well, to be exact, he only makes
diagonal steps - just like a bishop on a chess board. When he hits a
wall, he moves to the side, which takes him from the black tiles to the
white tiles (or vice versa). And after each move, he places a coin on
the floor, to remember that he has been there before. After 64 steps,
just when no coins are left, Peter suddenly wakes up. What a strange dream!
