Bruce Ticket CPT

[J_Th4ng]

Hey guys,

Anyone want a single ticket (general admission) for Springsteen tonight (Wednesday) in CPT?

Unfortunately Camilla is sick and probably won't be able to join me.

Ticket price is R900, I'm happy to take offers around R200.

Anyone keen?

SHIT!! I would have bought a plane ticket if I knew the ticket was going that cheap. Is it today or next Wednesday?

The level of comprehension in this clan is freaken amazing, and I quote the original poster: "Anyone want a single ticket (general admission) for Springsteen tonight (Wednesday) in CPT?"

just how did you get the idea that "tonight" and "wednesday" could possibly resemble a time and place equating to "next week Wednesday"?

and then people wonder why the russians lost the cold war.

I think Tyger, you should stop abusing your administrator powers and start respecting your fellow clan members, you don't just "fly" in unless Master Fly agreed to it and painted you a golden fish to go with it.

I find the level of time management skills in this clan freaken amazing. The original poster posted a message consuming 43 words. The average speed at which non technical literature can be read at is between 200 and 250 words per minute. Let's assume Russian is on the lower end of the range and can only read 200 words per minute, then the time it would have taken him to read the original message would equate to 12.9 seconds.

Now, the average typing speed is considered to be around 40 words per minute. Russian responded with a 23 word response. This 23 word response would have taken him 15.3 seconds to compile.

Ergo, the logical conclusion is that even if Russian has a low level of reading comprehension, and he needed to read the message twice to extract accurate information from it, then that would have still be more time efficient...

(thank goodness I don't type at an average speed!)

as an example of time management, or should we say the lack thereof, a response from badass consisting of 5 words as per above, using
BadAss' average words per minute typing speed, meant that this 5 word response, not saying anything really, took him nearly 3 minutes to compile...

And then I get asked by investors why our GDP per capita is in such a horrible state.

Actually, the mathematics in such a case is based on what is called characters per minute (CPM). Given that the average lenght of english words is 4.5 characters, that just means QED. There are a good argument to be had regarding whether or not the Backpsace should count as a character or not, given the error rate, I would imagine said button was pressed a number of times in the compliation of the 10second response.

Nope, don't like loud music, so not for me thanks, I do however like to stir on forums.... ;-)

[Irish_Luck28]

Hey J, mate phoned me back, he is not going to take it.

[TygerBS]
