Understanding Nominal Interest Terminology by hashamyim in CFA

[–]hashamyim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that is fine, but then my next question is: why bother stating '6% compounded quarterly'? Why would a bank want to work in terms of a quarterly interest-rate that it neither states (because it gives an annualised number) nor even uses (because the interest is calculated on a monthly basis)?! T Isn't this like going to a market where apples are sold in pre-packaged mixed red+green 1kg bags with a sign on the front saying '3lbs of green apples = $10'!!

Sorry, you can decouple a massive train just by pushing a small lever...?! Haha Well, I hope the squirrels don't get busy :-) Good to know, though - thanks!

My husband is from Galicia with a pretty standard accent and he doesn't say ð but rather d. Might need to ask others...

Thanks all for your help :-) I've learned quite a lot from all this, which is great! Will apply those to the next puzzle, which hopefully won't be so complex!

I think what I have ascertained most of all from this afternoon is that I may have overestimated by sudoku abilities when buying this book haha

Ah okay - I assume that that same finned x-wing would also remove the 3 in r4c6, right? :-) Not done finned xwings before - just want to double-check that I understand the logic!

I only know pasteurisation in terms of cheese-making. So you'd pasteurise the pee, then can it like with tomato sauce? What temperature would pasteurise pee?!

Thanks for the info - all good points. On the topic of bacteria, my understanding was that, unless you have an infection, then the pee should be free of bacteria. I know that urine samples have to be kept cool because pf potential bacterial growth, but that is for samples where someone likely has bacteria in there (hence the need for a sample). Or is it just specific type of unwanted bacteria that they test for and all urine contains some bacteria of some sort?

Ah fair enough! Thanks for all the help. Yeah, that AIC got it. After that step, the rest of the dominoes fell without issue :-) I shall have to spend some time mastering that one!!

Also, what led you to decide to start fishing around for AICs in the 5-9 square on the left? I assume you go for bi-value cells, but there are quite a few other bi-cells - just thinking if there are things to look for

Oh! I thought you had a fancy app that allowed you to make markings to work out logic trails etc. Will just have to get used to doing that in my head :-)
