Egocentrism over posts: can we communicate as well as we think? Overestimating the obviousness of one's intentions can lead to insufficient allowances for ambiguities in communication. This philosophy may account for the fact that I don't read PM's and therefore oblivious to any clues.
okay if you say so I guess (since I can't understand what you are talking about Laughing)

Clever; the drop off point for the bus was higher than the pickup point! Or, the other way round?
The 1st one is correct.

Now I know what you mean however, you forgot this:

"Along the way, we also found that participants overestimated their ability to interpret e-mail."

There is a rumor going round that A2K is considering issuing new members ID cards.

Each member will be assigned a 5 digit identification number from 00000 to 99999. For ease of record keeping, the moderator has requested that any two ID numbers differ in at least two places.

How many ID's could the moderator issue Question

Hi Try,,, i went to an animal rescue center
1'kkThe Spencer Peirce Little Farm in Newbury, Ma. (here is a pic of the road it is on)-

http://www.essexheritage.org/newimages/sites/spencer/spencer-pierce2.jpg

There is an Old Stone House on the grounds that people can take a tour of.

(one of my favorite towns around here, i dream about living there, falls off of my chair)

recently, there is a horse there named Molly that is sooooo nice,,, it has a friend that is a Tom Turkey named Socrates.

Socrates is unusual,,, he like's to be held by people , and will sit in your lap if you sit on the ground Shocked

I'm going to visit Molly and Socrates today, and bring some carrots.

I will form a 5 letter code word using only the first 14 letters of the alphabet and allowing letters to be used more than once.

If I select a code word at random; what is the probability that the code word contains the letter F but has no vowels Question

5-LETTER CODE
[size=7]There are 14^5 codes.
Your word contains 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 Fs with the remaining letters coming from a set of 10.
1 F: 5 * 10^4 = 50000
2 Fs: 10 * 10^3 = 10000
3 Fs: 10 * 10^2 = 1000
4 Fs: 5 * 10 = 50
5 Fs: 1

Therefore the probability is 61051/537824 = 0.1135148[/size]
