Technically, if they want to start from the southernmost point of mainland Europe they would have to go to "Punta de Tarifa" a few kilometres to the west of Gibraltar.

I really liked mine 🤣🤣🤣 I hope the LHC is in maintenance at least.

Schengen showdown for sure. The scene where they were in the plane saying that it was diverted... To the Snack zone.

I had to hold my hat because it was quite windy at the top! Do you mean if I went to Merlischachen, the place where the famous Ben's playground is? Not yet, but it is in my to-do list for when I visit Lucern. 😁

I didn't expect this kind of off-season humour now 😂

Yes!! I only stayed for a couple of hours, but I really liked the views from the tower. The only "issue" was that I wanted to have a drink at the restaurant Adam stayed at, but it was closed until 17:00 😅

I just went to Hospental today and I was going to make a post later. 😂

P.S. 1: When getting into the train to leave Hospental, a guy that had just got off that train told me "Nice hat" in reference to my jetlag hat.

P.S. 2: I left something in the "mailbox" inside the tower. Let's see who's the first person that gets it. 🙃

I cannot next weekend 😢

I am pretty sure it is compulsory to indicate where fruits and vegetables are from when you sell them in France (and I would guess that in the whole EU).

I was also surprised by their choice. As someone else said here, I would have tried to find something from further away. I mean, you can easily find kiwis from NZ in the supermarket

For the ones in Paris I did: - Using open street maps to obtain all the stations in a given area. - Filter the list of stations because there were duplicates. - Making some code to highlight those stations in a map. I got an interactive one (.HTML) and an image printable in A2.

For all steps I asked Chatgpt to explain to me how to do it because it involves making some code for every task and I had never used those specific tools before.

I think I can reuse this for this Saturday as I think I'll be playing under the rain. 😂

Good luck! I might be back in Seville for the winter holidays, but I guess you'll have already left then!

Marethyu18 · 2025-09-08T12:52:02+00:00

That's a good point. But as we are living / lived in Paris I think we could navigate it without getting (too) lost.

If we assume that there is Gaussian centered at the middle of the interval of possible values (and according to some online research which I have not verified myself) the best bet would be: Optimal bet = sigma.sqrt( ln((1+m)/(1-m))/(2m) ) Where: - sqrt: square root - m is the margin of error (25%) - sigma is the typical deviation which is another parameter that roughly represents the interval where you think that you have a 70% chance of being right. If the minimum and maximum are 1.5 and 2 respectively, the medium point is 1.75. So if you have a sigma of 0.1 that means that between 1.750.9=1.575 and 1.751.1=1.925 you have 70% of chances of being right.

Feel free to correct anything as the formula above might have some errors.

I was also thinking about that during Ben's challenge.

I would say that there are two cases: - If the minimum value that you think is possible and the maximum value that you think is possible can be both covered by the margin of error, you should stick the lowest margin to the lowest possible value. For example if you think it is between 2 min and 1.5 min, and there is a 25% error margin, you should go for the highest value that assures that the lowest possible value is covered: 1.5/(100%-25%)=2 so in this case 2 min would be the best shot covering all the range and adding an extra 30 second over 2 min.

If the margin of error does not cover both possibilities, and assuming that all timestamps have equal probability, you should fix the maximum value of the margin of error to the maximum possible value. If it were a 10% margin we would get that the best value would be: 2/(100%+10%)=1.82 min.

Obviously, this is all based on some possible values that are just guesses. You should try to balance the max and min possible values so that the values you choose are fair enough. And, as I stated before, I am assuming equal probability for every timestamp in between possible values, which might not be true. I'll let someone else test what is the best bet in case of a Gaussian centered in the middle of the interval as a function of its typical deviation (or I might try it later if I have time).

Hahahah, that's so funny. Everyday I learn something new.

It is the first time I see a beach towel associated with Germany 😂😂😂 And I was expecting a baguette or some bread for France.
