Taskmaster - S11 E3 - Run Up a Tree to The Moon.
Added 2024-07-02 13:00:10 +0000 UTCI totally want to run up a tree to the moon now! Wouldn't that be freakin' awesome? Oh Oh! Or breathing underwater so you can run on the sea bed! No. You know what? Screw that, I am terrified of the ocean. Not scared of the moon or space as far as I know though, so probably going to stick with that. Although...... getting stuck in space would be really scary too..... like the movie 'Gravity'... And if I run up a tree to the moon, how the heck do I get back? There are no trees on the moon!! Damn it, I am scared. -- Screw it, I am staying home!

2024-07-05 01:27:42 +0000 UTCWell...on the cartoon Ricky Gervais Show (S02E12), they were discussing if it was art or not. Karl asked Ricky what he thought of it and Ricky said he was 'blown away by it'. Steve called it 'spectacular'. Then Karl, referring to the guy who did it, said "yeah, but is he an artist or a fishmonger". And... here is the moment... https://youtu.be/6U0kMTv58oo?si=1A7uyxpOKB2DzvlM&t=174

2024-07-05 01:23:20 +0000 UTCYou know, I never connected the two conflicting philosophies to memory recall π I'll reconcile this with a business philosophy which is to focus on your core competency, and outsource everything else π I *do* use the "Sep, Apr, Jun, Nov" list regularly, though now you've told me July/Aug are knuckles with 31 days I think I can skip the rhyme from now on for every month π€

2024-07-05 01:05:23 +0000 UTC"Who needs to remember details when it's only a search away" made me giggle after the effectiveness of the month methods.

2024-07-03 00:02:04 +0000 UTCHiya Mandy, Iβm 30 mins from the Headington Shark, Itβs a short drive along the M40. I never knew it was there! Itβs near the colleges in Oxford. I can take pics if you want some, itβs meant to be sunny this weekend, Oxford would make a nice day trip π I couldnβt find a picture of Mikeβs broken glass sculpture π’ Like a stereotypical Oz, Sarah barbecued the ice π§ π Sarah Kendall *IS* actually meant to be a comedian who gets laughs π€£ Okaaaay, lets compare the βcost" (computational complexity) of the knuckles method to the rhyme method π Lets assume we all know ahead of time February has 28/9 days so doesnβt involve any cost. Knuckles Method The βcostβ of finding the length of each month involves counting knuckles this many times: Jan: 1, Feb: 0, Mar: 3, Apr: 4, May: 5, Jun: 6, Jul: 7, Aug: 8, Sep: 9, Oct: 10, Nov: 11, Dec: 12 So the average number of βstepsβ or counts using the knuckle method, for a randomly chosen month is: (1+0+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)/12 or 6.333 counts. Rhyme Method β30 days in September, April June and Novemberβ all the rest are 31 except February. The βcostβ of finding the length of each month involves checking to see if your month is one of βSeptember, April, June or Novemberβ if it is none of these, it has 31 days. Eg for January: Jan is not Sep, Jan is not Apr, Jan is not Jun, Jan is not Nov, so it has 31 days. This took 4 comparisons to find out. If we count month comparisons for the Rhyme method, we have: Jan: 4, Feb: 0, Mar: 4, Apr: 2, May: 4, Jun: 3, Jul: 4, Aug: 4, Sep: 1, Oct: 4, Nov: 4, Dec: 4 So the average number of βstepsβ or month comparisons using the Rhyme method for a randomly chosen month is: (4+0+4+2+4+3+4+4+1+4+4+4)/12 or 3.166 comparisons. Therefore the βRhymeβ method is twice as efficient! It takes exactly half the number of steps as the βKnucklesβ method for a random month, assuming we only know about February before hand. I prefer the rhyme method because all I have to remember are those four months: Sep, Apr, Jun and Nov, the rest works itself out. Iβd never heard of the knuckles method before though - and itβs neat that between the two hands thereβs two consecutive 31 day months! July and August were given 31 days to reflect their importance, theyβre named after two Roman Leaders Julius Caesar and his successor Augustus. βMy Very Elegant Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzasβ gonna remember that mnemonic. You should read Juan Tamariz book βMnemonicaβ It teaches you how to remember a specific order of a deck of cards, itβs full of mnemonic aid exercises to help you remember. At one point I remembered the entire deck order. The amazing thing is, after creating several different very personal mnemonic aids, and completely scribbling over a practice deck of cards with your crazy βcluesβ, then a whole load of practice practice and more practice, you donβt need to rely on your silly mnemonics any more and your brain makes the direct associations. π₯³ What I mean is, with enough practice you can train your brain to map any month to directly recall its number of days, it really isnβt that hard, just takes a little practice. Mandy! Itβs INCY WINCY SPIDER π£π π€£ The water restrictionβs a big thing in airports, itβs practically the first thing they take off you. Although itsβ only a restriction for carry-on luggage, if any of those bags were going into the hold, the water would be fine! π Are you talking about Damien Hirstβs βThe Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Livingβ the formaldehyde shark?! He made a few other βpickledβ sharks, including one cut right down the middle, called βDeath Explainedβ https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/index2.php?url=https://qa.damienhirst.com/death-explained#federation=archive.wikiwix.com&tab=url Google helps make sense of fragmented information π€ I consider it an extension of thought, weβre practically cyborgs already π€£ Who needs to remember details when itβs only a search away? I donβt have a great recall of trivia either, I usually know if thereβs something Iβm not remembering though π€ͺ Donβt fight it, Google it! Anyway if you want any photos of that roof shark that arenβt already on the internet, it would be a pleasure. Thanks Mandy G

2024-07-03 00:01:38 +0000 UTCKarl mentions the Shark in formaldehyde on The Ricky Gervais Show. And he says something really funny that made Ricky explode with laughter. :) You wanna know what that was? :) Well I was eating dinner whilst watching this as you told the 'my cat threw up in mid air' story. So, yeah thanks for that. :) This seemed to me like an all-round weird episode. :)

2024-07-02 23:16:19 +0000 UTCYes summer is just 1 month in the UK. 2 weeks in June, then 2 weeks in August. π€ͺ I think Mike was trying to make a long fishing rod contraption on the steam task, but it was too heavy and fell apart. That months rhyme always used to bother me - because October and December rhyme too - which ones do i use?!. Thanks for explaining the knuckles one I might use that in future. Since you sussed the scrabble months thing out I think you would do very well at Lee Mack's quiz show, Mandy, "100% Club" it is full of pattern spotting questions like that.

Well, you just made my week by pointing out all the days in the months are alternately 31 and 30 except February and July/August! I never noticed that before! Never seen anyone over here do the knuckle thing - just the silly poem. On balance, I prefer the knuckles!

And the stuffs lurkiing below. Gives me chills to think about. But at least you've got a whistle to blow. In space theres nuthin' nowhere and nobodys gonna come looking if something goes wrong.
