Odds And Ends And Anything You Fancy

The reason pre school children can get it?
You count the enclosed circles/ovals.
so 9 = 1
8 = 2
1 = 0
Total 5
Every single example on that list matches this pattern :D



That second pic was exactly me, Googling in my undergrad years early 80s :)

Now to change tone slightly

But where do you go to my lovely

Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head,

Nothing in Numbers.jpg says that.

A 4 has an enclosed space (OK not a circle)

Why do people say I'm pedantic?

That's not pedantic, Old Slave. I carefully excluded "4" from my statement, it has pointy corners.

If you really want to be pedantic, the examples given have no fours in it, so we cannot extrapolate from the evidence. All we can say is what I stated. If there were fours, and they fit the pattern, we could extend that rule to include them.

After all there is a clear difference between this

Sadly the song only got to 70 in the US and I totally missed it - was more into Stones, Beatles, Dylan and Mahler then. Just learned of it here and watched on youtube. It is a wonderful song.

That's odd, it reached number 1 in Britain, and I remember it on the radio here too. Different tastes, or bad marketing?
 
When is it not summer in OZ?

all temperatures celsius

July 2018 (middle of winter) locals thought this was cold - "Sydney's overnight low of 5.1 degrees at Observatory Hill on Sunday was the lowest July temperature since 2007. The most recent lower overnight reading was August 5, 2015, the Bureau of Meteorology said. . . . . . . Sydney's maximum is predicted to reach 18 degrees on Sunday and Monday, with a top of 22 tipped for Tueday and Thursday. The long-run maximum average for July is 16.4 degrees. "

But in 1836 . . . . . .

"though there was conjecture over whether the snow was actually snow — not just hail — the fact that the early settlers were Europeans, who were familiar with snow, suggested the accounts were true. "

Could it ever snow in Sydney again?
According to ABC News weatherman and meteorologist Graham Creed, snow in Sydney would be "highly unlikely, but not impossible".

Gibbs you don't know how much I envy you that scene! I only saw snow twice in my life up to the age of 26, it still excites me, as it did on my Europe trip earlier this year. Even small amounts reduce me to a wide eyed child :D

Of course, there is no scene that cannot be improved by the addition of . . . .
