@JamesSurowiecki This is a very, very easy question. Isn't it just a practice question to show how the test works?

The responses to this tweet are interesting, both because of all the people who are insistent that wrong answers are right, but also because of all the people who say the question/answer combo is "woke," which it definitely is not.

@cleanupbritain Have you ever been to Naples?

You just don't see this sort of hyper littered and graffiti-ridden sight in mainland Europe - what is wrong with us and our culture in this country????

@Rainmaker1973 410

Can you?

@BanjoBouchon @memecrashes zig zagging is just more motivating.

@memecrashes Some years ago I was looking at a map of my city, which is very "rectangular" in it's street directions, realizing that my intuition of zig zagging in the generic direction of my destination wasn't more efficient than simply going in one direction and turn once.

What 🤯

@Shrimpman94 @jdpoc No one doubts people love their own kids more than guns, but what about other people's kids?

@jdpoc Let me state first, if having to choose having my guns or my children (which I have none) I would pick my children. Now. Someone give me a comprehensive plan on how to get all 398 million guns rounded up and out of people hands. I'll wait.

Jesus, this advert hits hard.

@jjsmclaughlin It seems to me that the £2 cap is likely to be the cause of bus routes being scrapped, and not the other way around.

This is a deeply stupid and regressive thing to do.

@dggoldst Many careers have been made on this result too.

@StephenMcLbrtrn @passmaster666 @BladeoftheS Irrelevant

@passmaster666 @BladeoftheS What if he had already tried to drive around the cyclist repeatedly but the cyclist continued to block the road?

Looks to me like this Learner Driver will be continuing his education in prison.

@wtgowers I think even if I saw a+bxc+d I would expect the writer intended (a+b)*(c+d) but did not know the rules. I would not, however, make any bets based on this expectation.

If you saw the expression a+b x c+d on a page with that layout, where 'x' is the multiplication symbol, how would you interpret it, and why? (I have a reason for asking, but I don't want to give it immediately.)

@blekhman Will you harass me if I don't do it in time?

Hello, I'd like to invite you to do my laundry for me. If you accept, I ask that you do my laundry in the next 7 business days. If you decline, please give a reason, and recommend 2-3 colleagues who can do my laundry instead. No, of course there's no payment, what a crazy idea

Is it ethical to use Twitter/X?

@troovus Rich people live much longer than poor people, so this means briefer and less pleasant retirements for the poor.

I don't know about you, but having to work until I'm 68 would actually increase my misery quite considerably "Don't raise taxes on the rich, raise the retirement age for everybody else" say the mouthpieces of the rich

@DPJHodges Your comment "bang to rights" is itself amateur sleuthing. You could change it to "She has been convicted" or some such appropriate turn of phrase.

This amateur sleuthing on the Letby case is insane. She is bang to rights.

@florianederer I went from drinking coffee to tea anyway, so regardless of how this debate goes I am on the right side.

@florianederer One thing to consider is that this is PER KILO. A cup of coffee has between 10 and 20 grams of coffee, so this represents 50-100 cups of coffee.

If meat is so environmentally harmful and therefore we should tax it, why aren't we taxing coffee too? It's addictive and bad for the planet.

@florianederer 80 grams of meat per day per person in the UK, 4 grams of coffee per day.

@danielmabuse Yes, but nobody eats a kilo of beef every day either.
