@yuanyi_z It is so interesting that we have so many past exams (of all formats) and so few papers. I think we probably overestimate achievement across the board

@Jamie154182 @Martin95684074 @trevgoes4th It’s obviously not about their understanding of probability, changing the numbers makes that obvious. £100k vs coin flip on £2 million? £250k vs £3million? £1m vs flip got £100m? Conversely, 20p vs flip for £100 and every single person flips.

@Ryan_Creitz @maxtempers £50k is a house deposit for my son. I’d totally take that over a coin toss. The first 50k is worth more than the rest if it sets you up for life

@NIMBYSlayer_69 Try doing chemistry at Imperial 😮‍💨

@maxtempers I didn’t have essential dental treatment because it was £2.5k. I earn £80k! Surely they don’t think I need help.

@leisetritt @IonaItalia The argument I have heard against this is that most people would not have wasted candles in the night - perhaps well off ones might. So most people wouldn’t have got up.

@clim8resistance @asda There’s an ‘abandoned trolleys’ app you can use to report, all the supermarkets pay into it apparently. I don’t know if that’s true, but I reported one dumped on my road and it was gone two days later. It’s called trolleywise

@LabListon @wartsandbrawls I did not know this wasn’t standard. From now on I will write this in all my undergrad reference letters, so employers know

[Greenpolocat @greenpolocat]

@guythomasholder @wartsandbrawls Yes. We have exams as always.

@torysc_mout She never makes a single decision, in any post she is given.

@CraigTribe2 @DanielPDykes @AScribbledEagle @jackmrankin Until they get ILR! That’s the entire point

@WarGit Lots of legislation affects people retrospectively! Like the interest rate on student loans, or the WASPI age, or eligibility for winter fuel…

@RealTomH I have teenagers now and going away with them is an absolute joy.

@AaronBastani Elm Grove is totally appalling. Councillors don’t seem to care
