    I think the thing is though it's probably only Australians that would care about it. It's an Amerian show and primarly aimed at American viewers. The spokes person was right "regular viewers won't be shocked". It probably won't be shown in Aus until next year. I doubt it will ever be long...

    Equal 1st... what about HSC?

    Remember we don't see the actual final rankings. They are manipulated a bit more by the BOS taking into account z scores and standard deviations within individual tasks. So you mightnot actually be equal when it comes down it

    exam tips?? handwriting!

    Don't know if it will make it much faster but i fnd it helps me especially with arm tiredness towards the end of an exam... Whenever you find a really smooth/light pen put it aside and save it for exams. Then do all other writing with the worst and heaviest pens. Then when you come to the exams...

    Scalping and the Internet

    Not a fan of scalpers but i think it is a problem CA has to deal with. Was it Splender in the Grass or Homebake that had really stringent rules on ticket sales where you could only get like 5 tickets and you had to name the people and have ID on entry? I rekon if CA did somthing like that...

    HSC examination rule?!

    Sorta related... During the trials we were told that we couldnt take in water bottles. They had cups (polystyrene) and water. We could fill one up and take it to our desks as we entered. If we ran out we had to put up our hand and get a supervisor to fill it up. It surprised me. I assumed a...

    Anti-Semitism

    JaredR , Love_Muscle, lets just clarify that the mass murdering of people (regardless of whether it is based on skin colour, race, religion, beliefs etc) is not justifible, is terrible and are all equally as bad, whether or not it comes under the banner of genocide. My understanding is that...

    Anti-Semitism

    It is an attack on Israel. Not Jews.

    Anti-Semitism

    The point is that they should not have to fear reprecussions because of showing their faith. Jews not face descrimination for wearing kippahs nor should Muslims for wearing scarves, nor goths for wearing black not anyone! Australia has such a multicultural and diverse society i thought we...

    Anti-Semitism

    Here is an interesting fact. Semites are not just Jews. A semite is "A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians" (dictionary.com) I guess it is one of...

    Israel attacks Lebanon

    Well UN resolution 1701 was passed this morning unanimously this morning in the UN and both Hezbollah and Israel has expressed approval of it. Hopefully it will do better than Resolution 1559 from 2004, which called for the unarming of all militias and the respecting of each others boarders!

    Probability Question!

    Okay all you mathematicians, get ready to flex your Muscles. On one of my usual pricrastinating web searches i stumbled across this tricky, to say the least, question! Lets see what you can do! A Man inherits on his 21st birthday (31 December, 1970), two houses- one in city and one in the...

    Rugby not League

    At least in union the scrums are a contest. In league they barely in even touch, they may as well start with a tap.

    Rugby not League

    We tried smith and waugh but that and it didn't really work, well enough. We need the extra grunt of a real blindside flanker, and an extra lineout jumper. I rekon our best backrow was when we had Smith/wilson, Kefu and Owen Finegan. We have so many tests between the now and the world cup next...
