| Real email stories from Hoaxbusters | |
|
| I got an email this morning, which I thought was probably a hoax, so I went to the Hoaxbusters website to check it out. It was indeed a hoax, but more interesting were the other hoaxes, some of which were quite amusingly silly. Best of all, however, was this page of emails that looked like hoaxes but weren't. The two at the bottom are simply fantastic (do go to the links after reading the report), although with the depth of knowledge and the competitiveness in the club, I'm sure we can beat three seconds...

| Porrasturvat - Stair Dismount | |
|
A delightfully twisted little game. Unfortunately you have to download (~2MB) and install it before you can play, but it's definitely worth it.
I've managed to get around 140000, but there are far higher scores to be had... | |

| The Bar Tab Challenge | |
|
| This is a gift - an easy quiz game with £250 up for grabs if we can get into the top 10. There is no limit to the number of players on a team, and all players' scores are added together, so the more the better. To play, email me (nat23@cam.ac.uk) so I can add you to the team list.

| BBC's Test The Nation | |
|
| On Saturday night, 70,000 people joined in the BBC's IQ test. Leaving aside arguments about whether IQ really is a measure of intelligence and about the statistical significance of these results, there are some quite fun findings. Particularly satisfying (for those that are satisfied by that kind of thing) is the high incidence of intelligent people in Cambridge. As a subset of that, how intelligent is your average First And Third rower? The test is still there, so let's find out. For the record, it reckons my IQ is 130... | |

Personalize your bout with a victory chant and, as the victor, deal that final killer blow with a well-timed spirit-breaking insult." | |

| Bumps fines | |
|
Inspired by the recent achievement of a week's racing without any penalties, this spreadsheet takes a look at the fines handed out by CUCBC over the last ten sets of bumps (Mays 97 - Lents 02 inclusive).
At just 5.17quid [Martin - why does this message board reject the pound symbol?] for each of our 88 crews, 1st & 3rd are one of the best-behaved clubs on the river. True to form, Downing are 33rd out of 34.
A few notes:
1) Due to limited data, the fines for Lents 98 cannot currently be attributed to particular crews within a club, and hence are shown here spread evenly across the days and with a gender split in proportion to the number of crews racing within that club.
2) Where a fine is payable by a club rather than a crew (e.g. failure to provide marshal), it has been split by gender according to number of crews.
3) Amazingly, our 58 May crews have never been fined on a Wednesday. (15 comments...) | |
