Except I'm in Boston in business meetings! Player, First the school board has you serving as a mole on message boards. Now they have you flying to Boston. What will they have you do next? (Please say fix my couch.)

Except I'm in Boston in business meetings! player, I realize that you are NOT a SB mole. You are actually a secret agent working with James Bond. I have you down as 008!

Player, let me comment that on the blue board a few days ago your asking a simple "probablity homework problem" for people to show that yes they have a basic understanding of probability analysis was completely fair. You shouldnt have to do all the thinking or work, player!
For those that didnt read the blue board, when some people were questioning or getting confused with probability analysis for the pipeline topic, player asked a basic problem just as an example. Didnt give the answer right away, but left it as a question. Just to get some feedback and to see people show that they did a little learning on their own to help themselves fully understand things.
Unfortunately, this Socratic teaching method did not seem to go over very well there. The attempt to wait for 24 hrs before answer given, and allow more to participate, failed.
Again, the data and thought put forth by player was marvelous. And asking people to do a little "homework" after all the work player put forth was completely reasonable, I thought.

I personally was humbled by the fact that I couldn't answer the question! I hate probability!

(Please say fix my couch.) chickoryowl: If you are wondering why the SB sent me to Boston, its part of their secret subversive plan for Red Sox domination of Chicago! Metea/Eola is just the first step in the dastardly plan - to build a beach head in a community in Chicago. Once they build Metea at Eola, the basement will be used as a transmission center for mind-control waves (also EMF, I'm afraid) to make suggestible highschoolers ditch the Cubbies and start rooting for the Red Sox. The pipelines will be used as a waveguide to send these signals to southern communities, destroying the minds of Cub fans as far as the eye can see. Today Metea, tomorrow, all of Chicago Land! I was just doing my SB droid duties negotiating the royalties the SB will get with the Red Sox in Boston. So, sorry! No couch fixing! Only baseball game fixing! Cheers.

Please try not to confuse the issues with facts and data. Just look at the Carlsbad pictures and ignore everything else! Cheers.

You left out the part about how you were originally sent to Boston to review your effects on their Big Dig disaster ;D

gman413: Oops! Sorry- my bad! Thats what my other brother Socrates and I were supposed to check out too. The Big Dig is a role model for us. How do you know that? Are you on the SB's payroll too? Cheers, K.

Well, first off I will become a Red Sox fan when WV graduate Mike Bowden throws his first pitch in the "big show." Secondly, I think that the SB is targeting the wrong Chicago baseball fans. Chicago's American League fans seem to be the one's with the weaker minds. ;D I know I am going to get "HURT" for saying that !!!! BUT BRING IT ON !!!
