There's this cool guy (in fact, the only non-'old' male worker in the room) who got back from Perth today, and even he speaks Mandarin -_- Apparently he got Band 5 for Physics at Parra High, which I guess is pretty good. That reminds to endeavour to acheive at least band 5 in everything besides English (oh how I'll try...) and band 6 in 4UM and sciences (BofPsych, requires ATAR>96 I believe).
Today though I had to sort out a one inch stack of tax invoices and put each one into a letter. After I finished, I reckoned that I had used as a rough guess 120 envelopes. Other than that though, I actually didn't have to do much, just same old filing, finding stuff, etc...
At this particular workplace, everyone eats lunch unless they make their own lunchtimes coincide with other's, for a simple reason: there are always people calling, and as such it's advisable to have at least 2 people in the sales office.
End of the day, and that comments report thing has a 'very' tick for each category, even though I doubt I was 'very persistant' or 'works alone easily [not sic]'. I was going to say I got absolutely nothing from this, but yesterday I got a few jellybeans/lollies (I saved some for someone), and today they gave me two pens and a mousepad :) That's probably somewhat less than what other people got (e.g. $100 lunch, or 1699 pieces of gum/mint), but all in all it was fun....zzzz Btw, did anyone remember to say 'thank you' to their supervisor? I finally remembered my manners today, so it's all good.
Project Euler is starting to ruin my free and working time...
Find the sum of all the primes below two million."""
def isprime(n):
n*=1.0
if n%2==0 and n!=2:
return False
for divisor in range(3,int(n**0.5)+1,2):
if n%divisor==0:
return False
return True
total = 0
for num in range(2,2000001): #this is very brute force
if isprime(num) is True:
total = total + num
#print num
print str(total) + ' is the total.'
This is an example of my poor efficiency skills. If you don't understand, you don't have to, but basically it does what the top comment lines say, and the actual problem is here. If you solve up to level 2, you are officially going to ace SDD if you choose to do it (which you probably aren't).
On a lighter note, my sibling (not revealing gender here) competed at zone... for Junior Tunnel Ball! +1 karma to me ;D Apparently, everyone is using that ridiculously heavy, black, leathery medicine ball which resulted in his/her team coming 2nd last in their pool (of 5)... oh well, at least he/she made Zone for something a whole SEVEN years before me (wait wth zomg NUUUUUU after all that training). Here's to him/her making area next year (and me as well while I'm at it [actually, give me CHS])
If you haven't already noticed there's a poll at the top left, to clarify 'generic high-level smartphone' should indicate phones on par with HTC hero (i.e. about the $700-1000 mark), while all the road bike ones imply getting a cheap budget phone instead of investing in expensive 'bricks'.
Time to finish overdue group task for which I will be killed and begin mass-cramming physical formulae manipulation skills and other miscellaneous info (remember to use HyperPhysics!)
PS: Someone, what periods will the NQEs take place in? I mean, it is 135 minutes (15 min reading time incl.) so that's slightly more than 3 periods (my best guess is 3-5 with a bit of 6)
EDIT: It's 2:40am, I've been awake for 19 hours without any tea, coffee or taurine, so I feel slightly brain-dead right now... I know I was gonna write/ask about something here but I forgot, oh well ('friends' of my parents came over and played cards)
3.14am, that makes 20 hours, which is probably a record. Normally, record setting is followed by a feeling of elation and cloud > 9000, but in this case... I feel dead...
PPS: Anyone know where I can buy these fabled rubber fingers
Not sure if this is on purpose but you missed out a his/her and said her, so I guess your sibling is female.
