   Numerous  recent papers  focus on  standard recurrent 
   nets' problems  with long time lags  between relevant 
   signals.  Some propose rather sophisticated, alterna-
   tive methods.  We show:  many  problems  used to test 
   previous methods can be solved more quickly by random 
   weight guessing.
