Was trying to find the vid by Horowitz to one-up you there @Lamp but I can't. So I've had to settle for this instead :(

I can't even be bothered to, but I imagine if I'd been sat recently in maths classes, learning the stuff the test is about, I'd be able to pass it.

None of it was of any relevance anyway. The only bits I remember was stuff like the inside angles of a triangle add up to 90 degrees. The most useful maths I ever learned was how to add prices up when working at the pub. Remembering the price of 10 different drinks on a new year's eve was a pretty useful skill to have, and I can still do it now. Mind you, a pint of bitter cost 76p back then :(

Inside angles of a triangle add to 180 i think. Like a triangle called a right angle has one of 90. :p

I did my professional skills test today (Thing you have to do to make sure you engrish bro.) - Check my ears and arms and stuff to make sure I wasn't cheating - Super weird.

Anyway, that kinda stuff is like that question, I blazed through most of it, without knowing what was coming up, but some basic things stumped me.

Passed anyway. :p

I use stats quite a bit (normal distribution etc.), but other than that, most of what I use is glorified arithmetic; I did use trig a lot when I was an engineer (and I can still remember a lot of it), and some calculus (which I've never found easy and have forgotten entirely).

Did that quiz this morning; got two wrong.

Looks like EDF might not have the chops to build new nuclear at Hinkley.

Paul Dorfman of the UCL Energy Institute, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Unfortunately, with the best will in the world, it may just not happen. Chris Bakken, the man charged by EDF to construct Hinkley Point, has quit to spend more time with his family, EDF shares have crashed to half their value a year ago; the budget for Hinkley alone is bigger than EDF's entire market value.

"Areva - EDF's construction arm - has been bankrupted by the huge costs and time overruns for the same brand of reactor they want to build at Hinkley, so it seems there's a good chance that it simply may not happen."

Yes, yes I know.

But look at what was going on with all the pre-grammy bollocks.

Nirvana might struggle considerably to have the original line up to re-perform their version in honour of Bowie.

Besides, cover versions are often better than the original, Bowies is one of the worst versions.

So that the Beck vid a "cover of a cover", not a "cover of a cover of a cover" :rolleyes:

Though even Bowie is on the record saying the Nirvana version was better than his and the definitive track as far as he was concerned, so you could argue it's just a cover. :cool:
