your 40 time was terrible. You know this.

Our long, national Shedeur Sanders nightmare is over.

Great time of year for the beach. Enjoy.

A storefront with a sign, “ZERO motorcycles”. But the window contains one motorcycle.

These people are bad at counting motorcycles.

there's only a 60% chance of that at best

It's as if probability is just a fleeting illusion

‘My career is over’: Columbia University scientists hit hard by Trump team’s cuts The US government has begun slashing US$400 million in research grants at Columbia University over pro-Palestinian campus protests.

These cuts are ruining people’s careers. This is not efficiency - capricious changes to funding damage science for generations.

Can you think of a scenario when someone improved their score by 16 strokes from one day to the next like JT?

Sorry not sorry.

The screaming crowd who voted for deep cuts now screaming that they were cut. Welcome to the party pal!

Here’s the pitch:

They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident!

It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY!

This is fun.

what if you reduce the margins oh so slightly...because I found I could make a 1.5 page minimal paper a 2 page robust document right quick.

Regarding reducing - in working w/ students on probability questions, they are often surprised when I suggest that not only is reducing NOT necessary, the un-reduced form provides better information. 10/36 as the probability of rolling a sum of 8 with 2 dice provides information which 5/18 doesn't.

Except the question doesn't say "evaluate", it says "work out". If the intent of the question is to assess student understanding of simplest forms, then this should be clear in the prompt.

Yep. Always need to keep in mind what the intent of our questions are. If we're assessing a parallel skill, we need to make that transparent.

Two numbers are reciprocals if the product of the two numbers is 1. The student has provided a number which satisfies this definition. Full marks.
