:huh:
I flush the toilet.
Funny. Its a well observed trend over here though. On the advert break for big shows power and water usage has a tendancy to spike as everyone makes a cup of tea.
I took a statistics course while in university. In the final exam, there was a question about the Stanley cup. We were asked to determine the probability of something. I looked at the question and was completely lost. Key information was missing. Finally an international student asked the professor, "how many matches are there in the Stanley cup?"
He had to apologize. Said he assumed that all Canadians would know, and had forgotten that there were international students present.
I still don't know what that cup is all about. All I know is that I arrived in Vancouver after a riot about it. And yesterday I read in the papers that they rioted again for this stupid thing.
It's the trophy you get if you win the NHL (Hockey) Championship. Best of 7 game series. Not rocket science Mono.

If someone designs an exam question about probabilities of winning that, he has to give the "best of 7 game series" info in the question. As a statistics professor, he should know that. It is not rocket science :contract:

Yes he does, but that's not what I'm addressing. You said you still don't know what the Cup is all about, and that's after you had that question and lived in Canada for years.

If you don't know anything about the country you're getting an education in, you deserve to miss that question.
Canadians only count to seven. :lol:

I'm surprised many Canadians can count. Flannel Cro-Magnons.
