Stupid incidents!

I AM SORRY FOR NOT POSTING FOR SO LONG!!!!

(but council is damn busy so i hope you all will understand. but then again, understand or not. it's MY blog. so i choose whether i want to update or not. the extract below is taken from my blog and yup enjoy lol.)

---------

naturally, if you're looking for some entertainment after your mugging, you've come to the right place. this post will be one filled full of rubbish.

let me recount to you a very stupid incident that happened a few days ago. tuesday, i believe, and i was just about to start mugging when my hp rang (or vibrated, rather). it's like, everytime i start to mug and this sort of shit happens, you can't really blame me for being unfocused right?

well anyway it was an unknown number but i gladly picked it up since i'm avaricious (or put simply: bloody miserly) and incoming calls were FREE. and i'm not being racist when i say i'm stunned to hear a male indian on the other end. the only male indian i know was like, shivi, and uhh i'd recognise his voice.

but ANYWAY guess what. he was one of those annoying telemarketeers advertising some credit card. waa not even gold, platinum some more. so the guy rattled on quite a bit about the benefits for the cards and ended every sentence with a "sir" (i'm flattered). up for a bit of mischief although i had zero knowledge about credit cards, i tried talking cock to him.

- you can use this card everywhere.
- everywhere? like, really, everywhere? (that's me)
- yes, everywhere.

then i was running out of stuff to say so i asked for more information and he was talking about application. after wasting like a good half of a minute (and delaying my mugging time, he fricking took away my momentum, arsehole) of my life, i decided to put it all to an end.

- well, that sounds very nice. i'm seventeen years of age by the way, where do you think is your nearest branch where i can apply for your.. platinum card?

a pause.

- uh, you're seventeen? well, maybe uh, we uh, got a recycled number. uh never mind it's okay, perhaps you could uh.. consider uh, signing up with us in the future.

cool. then he hung up. yup cos i took over my mother's hp number and this credit card company musta tried to be funny koping numbers. OH WELL.

today was another flabbergasting day of mugging. by using such complex and pointless words, it kinda shows my attitude towards mugging. COMPLEX. AND POINTLESS. i couldn't get the point of complex numbers, and i couldn't find any points for vectors. in the end i returned to my dearest topic Permutations & Combinations. (the very use of capitals shows my respect for the lovely topic)

well here are some sample questions (from revision w/s).

1. AJC2005/P1/Q10 (like wtf is going to refer to that anyway)
Doris, a matchmaker, is to organise a dinner for 4 men and 4 women. (that's btw quite sad)

(i) How many ways can she select these 8 people from a list of 10 men and 10 women?
Answer: 2. She can either choose the people she wants, or she picks them at random. Like duh.

let's try some other questions, shall we?

4. MI2005/P2/Q3
5 males and 4 females are to be seated around the table. Find the number of ways this can be done if (i) there is no restriction; (ii) all girls are seated together; (iii) one particular girl must sit between two particular boys.

(i) If there is no restriction and the males and females are couples, I think they might prefer the bedroom. And either way the last guy is going to feel quite left out so you're never going to get this group of people to sit round the damn table! Bo liao!

(ii) There are four females, but that doesn't mean there are four girls. Girls are subsets of females, not the other way round. The answer is zero as there might not be any girls after all. Thinking schools, learning nations - don't get tricked by this question.

(iii) As above. Don't be tricked!

so am i good or what. next question.

5. MJC2005/P1/Q5
this is a damn long question so i'll cut to the chase. no point beating around the bush when all you need is the question itself. "30 contestants are put into voting for two awards, and one student can win more than one award. how many ways are there to do this?"

i think there are three feasible ways.
no. 1 - electronic voting. technology is reliable.
no. 2 - ballot. you use paper like they do it election-style.
no. 3 - raising hands. primitive but still effective.

yay. and we have even more crap!

Find the number of different words that can be formed by using all the letters in the word REPETITION, if the first and the last letters are both (i) letter T, (ii) consonants.

(i) Zero. if you start and end with T, and try to fit in the other letters in the middle, you will find that you can't make any word that can be found in any English dictionary.

(ii) Possibly one or two at most. I can't foresee any words but let's give the benefit of the doubt, there are some very guai lan words out there. I'm no expert on linguistics, especially not in English.

10. SRJC2005/P1/Q5
zzz another long question. (a) has a lot of shit about icebreakers and shaking hands but in the end the question is just plain dumb. skip it please. (b) The civics tutor would like to take a picture of the class consisting of 12 boys and 5 girls standing in a row.

then it doesn't really matter anymore. because you know unless you buy the stupid lumix wide lens thingy, you're so not going to fit 17 people standing in a row. oh, and what's more, the question was set in 2005 when it's not out. so it's impossible. no picture.

by the way which retard wants to take a picture of the class with the guys standing in HEIGHT ORDER. while the girls just insert themselves anywhere? damn stupid.

Four budget travellers, comprising 3 men and a lady (that's really gay), arrive at a budget hotel. There are only 4 rooms available for them to put up for a night. Find the number of ways in which they can check-in if..
(i) all of them occupy different rooms,
(ii) all 3 men occupy one room and the lady occupies another room,
(iii) ...

Answer: One. You check-in through the front counter.
(applies to all parts)

seriouslyyyyy p&c could do with more realistic questions. when you can't find the solutions to the questions, YOU QUESTION DA QUESTION!

yup that is all for entertainment today. go back to mug! don't be like me! the least we could expect, is to maintain the standards our seniors have set. well as i'm obviously not going to make it (despite being a veritable p&c PRO), y'all can go get the As with MY UBER L33T P&C TIPS!

yay!
