I’ve been a bit confused by the relationships question. I’m currently seeing three people romantically on a semi-regular basis, so I put in 3, but I wouldn’t say any of those relations qualify as “relationships”, so I selected ‘single’. I hope that’s the preferred method.

Thanks, and sorry. Fixed.
If you use X11 you’ll find that even though the selection clears just after releasing the mouse button, it’s been nonetheless placed in the selection buffer (so you can middle-button it somewhere).

Anybody up to take on the others?
I dunno, on my test it came up higher than expected (and higher than the result of a pro test they gave me in primary school once).
Huh, I got the date almost right—sadly, the date of death.
Thank you for sharing. This seems so obvious, and yet, it has helped me and works wonderfully. I’ve been able to get started and quite far along the way already (in just a day or so) writing reports that were due months ago and I couldn’t have brought myself to work on them even though I find the topic interesting.
Just took it.
About the probability questions: I thought you were supposed to answer them instantly for your intuitive stance at the moment, without additional research, though I see some of responders apparently did research. Perhaps it should be better specified what is meant.

Could you elaborate on that?
Would you be interested in writing up the results of your investigations? A structured article on tested useful drugs, if only with a terse summary of what each of them is good for, would be an interesting starting point for studying this topic further. Most such resources on the Internet seem to focus mainly on illegal drugs, which makes their use somewhat problematic.
Same in Poland; although many people do tip in restaurants. I’m always a little bit confused by the American tipping rituals whenever I see it in a movie or whatever.
How about the rest of Europe?
We can only hope that this was an artful stroke made from the shadows by some great master of the Dark Arts, and not a mere snowballing of an ignorant question.
Actually, I’d hope quite the opposite. Perhaps it’d be a sad conclusion, but yours strikes me as potentially more dangerous.
Did he? I thought he just meant ‘odds’ when he said ‘probability’.
Try and do that with Rudy Rucker, I dare you. I only endured first thirty or so pages of his “Postsingular” before all that was left of my suspension of disbelief were sad ashes and smoke started to come out of my ears.
EDIT: Although, to be fair, I haven’t tried his other books. I hear the ‘ware’ trilogy is quite good. I can’t shake off the distaste after trying “Postsingular”, though.
Thanks for the explanation, wouldn’t have thought about it from this angle without it. It’s pretty good when read in this way. Upvoted.
Ouch. Comic Sans.
Good cookbook, though.
The stronger answer to many of those questions is “nobody knows.”
Perhaps, but it would at best be a rethorical answer, and at worst an ignorant one.
For example, 341, 0011001100110001, and XXXI all represent the same number using different systems of representation.
Okay, this is silly, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what that number and those systems of representation are.
That’s not particularly well-formed, is it now?
That’s one clever trick right there!
