lol I do some work with adults in maths classes and the only thing surprising about this shit is that Camelot thought it'd be a good idea to use negative numbers on the lottery tickets.

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago)

especially as their core customer base is people who ain't so good with numbers.

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago)

yeah, i wager americans would have problems with this too. but we shouldn't let that stop us from laughing at the britishes.

Ok, the great part of that is imagining the junior reporter sitting there suppressing snickers and/or despairing tears while the interviewee goes on and on about how he totally won.

I once worked at a small-town newspaper and (sadly) had to get really good at that, kinda culminating with having to meet two burros named "Taco" and "Fajita."

Lottery companies basically make all their money from people who don't understand statistics.

i bought a scratch card the other day because it had a picture of christopher lee as dracula on it and i won ten quid

Lottery companies basically make all their money from people who don't understand statistics.

which is why its sort of phenomenally dumb of the lottery company to make a ticket that requires numerical skills more advanced than "match these numbers"

max, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago)

I don't know, I'm imagining how many "losing" tickets got thrown away and thinking they might be really smart.

Speaking of Britain and the lottery, my brother won 25,000 pounds on scratchcards this weekend. That's $50,000 to you merkin yanks.

Britain could've avoided all this if they had just stuck with the imperial system of temperature measurement.

Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 20:36 (seventeen years ago)

we spell it measouremente

The Cool Cash game - launched on Monday - was taken out of shops yesterday after some players failed to grasp whether or not they had won.

During the Cold War, BBC planned to broadcast The Sound of Music on radio in the event of a nuclear strike on the United Kingdom. The broadcast would be part of an emergency timetable of programs designed to "reassure" the public in the aftermath of the attack.[3]
