Lazy.....
Too lazy to take a math test willingly to see how good I am at math.

|

I refuse to take part is such a travesty. Imagine being tested by a country that pluralizes Math and sells weight in stones in monetary units of pounds ... it's just crazy.

I used to be good in math, and let it be that way...

I looked at the first problem only, so apologies if I am jumping to conclusions, but this question was what I expected. I am rather fed-up with people calling basic numeracy and trivial logic problems 'mathematics'. OK, you can solve some of these problems with elementary algebra, and they do involve 'mathematical' skills of some sort. However, as someone who has studied quantum mechanics I would say that mathematics is solving things like differential equations and complex algebra. I am not saying that trivial numeracy or algebra is easy, because some people can solve these problems faster than others. However, these types of questions only test one very narrow and elementary mathematical skill. Incidentally, solving many types of equations requires as much intuition as logic. Schrodinger arrived at his wave-equation by intuitive deduction and not by logical proof. Mathematics is so much more and the most important skills of mathematics are not tested by this type of question.

I had two wrong. With the first question, I resolved to not actually do the math, just answer with the first thing that comes to mind. (Too simple to take seriously.) I really have no idea how I managed to get the engine capacity wrong.

This year I have a gift coupon of 157.50 GPB in amazon.co.uk and 50 Euro in Amazon.de valid till this year end.

It still seems M$ want Apple's market share. I am friends with a lot of big Linux/Unix users who are anti-PC but they have all been left with the feeling that a touch screen works for a phone/tablet not a desktop and having one OS to rule them all will leave it big and unwieldy as it has everything for all uses, I mean when do you need an Ethernet port when using your mobile, equally when do you need GPS for your desktop (Monday mornings...), I am of the opinion of horses for courses. Whats the hive mind say...
[Update] does any do dev work, not testing, coding on anything aside from a laptop/desktop????[/Update]

My Mmmm was slightly sarcastic the bread is stale, needed a new loaf last night and forgot it. Sarnies little dry - rusk like!

I regularly use my Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 for development, testing, documentation, etc. When at home I plug them into a larger monitor, but I like the touch screen.

Oh, you sir are the first I have heard of...I must admit typing on a touch screen is an art I need to practice give me a klacky keyboard any day!

I don't usually type on the touch screen, I use the Touch keyboard for the Surface. I have the regular Touch for one and the backlit Touch for the other.

"Chart three woods as a measure in the kitchen."(11)
Quite hard, but you have had time off and need the practice.

Chart = TABLE
three woods (golf) = SPOONS
TABLESPOONS - used as a measure in the kitchen

Oops...

a measure in the kitchen - TABLESPOONS?
|
|
|
|
|
A normal measurement in recipes in the UK at least, along with the teaspoon. Not undifferent to using "cups" to measure flour, as the Merkins do, be we don't.
