this is a test, please ignore

Have we passed?

You were supposed to ignore it. Bugger, now I've failed as well.

Edit:- Was there a prize?

perhaps its a test to see how many people respond to test posts?

In which case, what constitutes a pass or fail - it's important that I know how well we've done.

It's like doing your 'A' levels then never hearing again - on reflection that would have been a good thing

Phil

well, it says there's 2 tests, I'm only enquiring about the first, the second i'm ignoring (DOH!)

Perhaps that is why I failed.

I failed to spot the fact that there were two tests!!

Mind you if spotting the two tests was one of the tests, then what was the second one?

Phil

I ignored the second one, so I passed after all.
Woohoo!!!!

But you havn't ignored it - you have just mentioned it in the context of having passed it - You loose.

This is proving to be a dificult test - even more dificult then the one they make me do with the different shapes and the different holes.

In years to come psychologists will probably get huge research grants for their investigations into the 'Twin Test Paradox'. Rather than doing as they do now and getting huge research grants for stating the bleedin' obvious! - so it must be a good thing.

Phil

Yes but consider if there is only one test and we ignore it or not then do we pass or fail. If there are two test and we ignore one of them we get or must get a 50% mark regardless of passing or failing. Then at what point do you set the pass fail mark?. If the pass fail mark is fairly set at 50% then we could neither be passed or failed?

On the premises of the above I have decided to ignore/not ignore (delete as applicable) so that I get a pass.


There that should do it.


Enjoy. 67 days and counting.

ZEN - If there is a test and everybody ignores it does it cease to exist?.... or does it make a noise?

here is a scary test

well, maybe that's three tests then, the first two, then if spotting there were two is another, hmm.

maybe if we "don't ignore" the test after 2 but then talk about the possibility of a 4th test we might get a merit?

where did i put my rubiks cube - oh and my migraleve..

Perhaps it wasn't a test at all - perhaps by noticing that I've won again - no that would make it a test and me wromg by default.

Phil

ok, i lose.

oh no, never mind.

I think it is grossly unfair of ChrisS to pose such a dificult test in the first place and then not help us out.

Do you think that maybe even he doesn't know the answer(s)?

Phil

answers?

what test?

"i know nothing"

Chris, how about a clue?

Or maybe I loose

Please let us know the answer.

Hmmm I could see that coming a mile off... telling them to ignore is like telling a small child not to do something. It's like giving them permission

DON'T READ THIS POST !!
-gotcha

Think it's a bit late for you nedy, old-fruit. You've well and truely lost your way

Nobody think of a Pink Rhino......

TOO LATE....

I take it that the weather in UK has closed in and no one want to go out into the cold to build/drive/clean/look at cars?

Indeed, we go to work in the dark, come back in the dark, then p155 about on here instead.

In fact, going back to the test...I believe the originals were available, at a price, from some guy who stole them from the exams board.
I had a drugs test at work. I hope I passed...imagine my suprise when I had to pee in a bottle instead of having to sit down and answer loads of qns:
All they asked was name, service number, rank etc.

I went to an A.A. meeting the other day...imagine my suprise when, one after the other, all the people stood up and announced they were Alcoholics!
I have canned my membership and will now be joining the RAC instead.

i bet he was posting off a mobile or something....

ChrisS is well known as a man of few words. When he stated "this is a test, please ignore", perhaps he was issuing a warning to all newcomers.
Was he, in actual fact, stating "this (Ron's book and subsequent Locost car) is a ...now here comes the spelling mistake... testes (balls, balls-up, cock-up, consumate disaster), please ignore (start building at your own peril).
Having noted the frustration in his posts and the prolonged build time, I submit this is the only logical conclusion to Chris' cryptic warning.

recon you could well have it there!
