What kind of a pompous ass asks "What's your brand of philosophy" to someone? I mean, just when I thought I'd seen all types.. :P
- Div
The pompous ass kind? Heh. But seriously, I wish people did have more conversations like that. I wish it was polite to go up to someone and ask them what they believe in, and then have a nice chat about it all. Neither party evangelising, of course... in a perfect world, it would be the same as asking someone, "So what's your favourite movie?" I was not at all offended by the question... only by the anti-Objectivist snobbery.
What would your dream book be about ie. what themes, what genre?
- Saurabh
In my dreams, I am as hilarious and witty as P. G. Wodehouse. I write about utterly inconsequential, yet honest things - musical comedies without the music, yes - purely for entertainment. Of course, we all know that's never going to happen... so I have to content myself with honesty. But I swear I'm never going to write anything bleak. If I do, I give you complete permission to tear it up.
What is the probability that if you chose 7 random letters from a scrabble set, you will get your name?
- Saurabh
1/776452. Go away.
(I could actually find out the number of ways to pick that set of letters and multiply each of them by no.Of(NthTile)s/100-N, but I won't. Anybody know an easier way to do it?)

There are 6 N, 9 A, 4 D, 9 I and 100 total letters in Scrabble. Your name has 3 N, 1 A, 1 D, 2 I and 7 total letters. I think probability is: 6C3 * 9C1 * 4C1 * 9C2 / 100C7 ~ 1.6 out of a million. Your answer is ~ 1.3 out of a million, not that far off!
ReplyDeleteHaha!! It helps that I live in the farthest point from you in the country!..
ReplyDeleteDuh.. I wanted honest answers.

Honest answers?
ReplyDeleteOK, my favourite month is whenever it's 75 degrees out, with a cool breeze and lots of sun. I don't think about my name enough to know if I like it (what on earth difference would it make it I didn't? Not like I can suddenly change it to Btterfly Princess). I don't wear contacts (or glasses) even though I need them, coz I'm too lazy.

Oh this was *hilarious*. Made my day.
Null Bit: "cat"?
ReplyDeleteArtanis: American Gods is almost bad. I guess Anansi Boys has spoiled it for me - it led me to expect its own hilariously droll worldview in AG when actually AG is rather heavy, sombre fantasy. Still, it ain't over till it's over, and I keep hoping this guy's going to make it worth my while in the end. I definitely recommend Anansi Boys, though. Gaiman totally channeled Wodehouse in that one. :)
Snowbeak: :D You made mine with that comment. By that point in the quiz I was just saying something to get it over with.
