Ok just so you know who we're talking about, but I can't say explicitly, let's just call her Letchbo.
And she insisted that Terry Fox ran 42 HOURS a day to raise funds for cancer research. Go figure

Two goats and a car
This is an interesting maths problem taken from Mark Haddon's excellent book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time":
You are in a game show on television. On this game show the idea is to win a car as a prize. The game show host shows you three doors. He says that there is a car behind one of the doors and there are goats behind the other two doors. He asks you to pick a door. You pick a door but the door is not opened. Then the game show opens a door that you did not pick to show a goat (because he knows what is behind the doors). Then he says that you have one final chance to change your mind before the doors are opened and you get a car or a goat. So he asks you if you want to change your mind and pick the other unopened door instead. What should you do?
Are the odds of you winning the car higher, lower or the same if you change your mind and pick the other door?
I will supply the answer with a diagram as explanantion in about three days. In the meantime please explain your answers in the comments feature. I was pretty bowled over by the answer myself, and yet it was mathematically flawless.
If you need more time just let me know, too.

2-1 again!
Well we didn't need no Diego Forlan this time, as Mickael Silvestre popped up just when it looked like United's embarassing superiority was going to go unrewarded again.
Twice the ball rocketed off the Frenchman's bald pate from the unerring accuracy of Giggs' left foot, and twice Jerzy Dudek grabbed air, although his defenders were the bumbling ones this time.
For all the guile of Luis Garcia and Xabi Alonso, and the more direct threat of Djibril Cisse and Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool attack simply had no answer to the way United were closing them down.
All the pre-match hype about the goalkeepers being the weak link failed to materialise, with Roy Carroll replacing Tim Howard, and Dudek having a decent outing.
United flew out of the blocks, as they threw everyone forward in search of a settling early goal. Instead, the Liverpool goal seemed to lead a charmed life, as Cristiano Ronaldo teased and tortured the Riise and Kewell, and even hit the woodwork with Dudek beaten.
This was no one-half wonder, as United possessed a hunger that seemed to signal that their season started now, with Rio Ferdinand proving a rock on which Liverpool foundered.
It was breathtaking stuff, as the swagger and one-touch football returned, and quite simply, Rafa Benitez's men could not cope.
In the end, 2-1 was a flattering result, as United could have been at least three-up by the break. But as Jose Mourinho would say, it is just three points.
But it is also just United's second win in six games. Nevertheless, they can take heart from three points off a title contender, as well as an assured display from the United defence.

I am very happy!
Well it took many many months to make my day, but she finally did it. My bestest friend (let's call her Minah for anonymity's sake) finally contacted me as she got a mobile phone again, after we lost contact for a few months. I'm so overjoyed I forget when it was that I last talked to her, let alone saw her. But let's forget that. Can't wait to see you again, Minah. =]

Weekend!
Wow! So fun to work only five days!
Went to Ikea after work today with Jeannie and Angela today, apparently to buy furniture, but we ended up stuffing ourselves silly woth Swedish meatballs, chicken wings and chocolate mousse. Ended up being $8/head well spent, consuming about 25 meatballs and six chicken wings altogether.
And tomorrow I'm going to IDS to change my UQ intake to BA in Feb 2007, and then going Golden Mile to recce for green papaya to make somtham (papaya salad). We'll see.
Oh and just bought ten (!) GV ticket vouchers! Hmmm I feel like a movie...

Stay-out
Pray with me: I asked Mdm for stay-out, as it can only improve my skin. She was reluctant to make the effort, but she sadi she'll ask S3 on Monday, so keep those prayers coming!

Free!
OK don't ask how, but I have vouchers for a free body spa and facial spa. My friend already tried it out and gave it the thumbs up, so I guess it's pretty good. Anyone wants the voucher just drop me an email.
