I recently paid a coal bill of £ 49 and I also decided to buy a bag of kindling sticks at £ 4.50. The young lady got out her calculator to work out how much I should pay. Darts is brilliant for mental arithmetic and snooker. Ever watched a snooker match and calculated then re-calculated what's the maximum left on the table and how that would affect both players scores??Snooker is particularly useful for Physics as well as it teaches an appreciation of the terms force , momentum and kinetic energy as well as the frictional force between the ball and the table. Also there is the inelastic collision between the balls. Inelastic collisions between thermal neutrons and unstable radioactive nuclei are fundamental to the production of electrical energy from nuclear power stations. I hate when my balls collide with the elastic

I'm going for a zimmer . I'll use it to go see Mary at the CC . they told all of us of all the orthopaedic stuff we could borrow to help us function , i.e. Hand rails seats for the shower and toilet , they asked if we would like to consider something for our homes . I asked for a Range Rover as it's easier to get in and out . They said no that's not an option . No fucking sense of humour

I've said for years that young kids 'maths lessons' should involve them playing darts & snooker. Lets face it, adding up numbers is boring for a young kid, but playing snooker or darts is exciting & interesting and it teaches them all about maths, from simple addition & subtraction to angles. Too much common sense for our educational system though. Better to teach them about how white people having braided hair is cultural appropriation. Bobby George has been round the schools doing darts maths roadshows

Then you can still bring our pre-match drinkies over to us. See - I think of everything.

If 13 people have reviewed a hotel as follows:
1 * 3 ** 4 *** 3 **** 2 *****
What is the overall rating for the hotel (out of 5 stars)?
Can any maths experts here (lawrie?) tell me what the formula is?

Thanks skank, nice work. If the number of reviews had been an easier number eg: 10 that's the sort of calculation I could do mentally, but not with an odd number like 13.

Is it a dying skill. I'm in the process of coaching a 20 year old guy at work who is more than capable of doing the task in question but requires a bit of numbers work. We're only talking addition here and keeping track of a running total etc. It could be anything, 38 +44 +27 = or whatever. His first port of call was the calculator on his mobile, which is fair enough, no problem at all. I'm no Einstein either but it just seemed easier to do the mental work rather than hit the buttons. He'll go far I'm sure but the world presents many a conundrum on a daily basis. My boss does that all the time, i tell him the answer half the time before he starts. He just carries on in his arrogant way making sure.
