  • Need help working out Bill!?

    Alrighty SO! Our electricity Bill was $834 which is through the roof, and I'm trying to calculate the difference between us three and there's been some arguements as there was a period we were away.

    My girlfriend and I were away for 19days, and it was averaged that $8.60 Per day was used. Thus I simply divided as follows:

    $834.23/3 = $278 Approx. Each

    8.6 * 19 = $163.4 or $81.70 between Girlfriend and I as we were away on holiday.

    278 + 163 = 441 = Roommate

    278.07-81.7 = 196 = Myself and Girlfriend.

    However My friend Disagress and calculates as follows:

    The figure didn’t look right to me, so I did the math on it myself.

    Bill period from 14 November to 19 February = 97 days.

    $834.23/97 = $8.60 = price per day of electricity

    $8.60 x 19 = $163 approx = Total amount for 19 days away

    $834.23 - $163 = $671 approx= Remainder

    $669.12/3 = 223 approx= amount when the period not away is divided equally

    Therefore you guys pay $223.04 each.

    $223.04 x 2 = $446.08

    $834.23 - $446.08 = $388.15

    Summary:

    Me: $223.04

    Justine: $223.04

    Him: $388.15

    It's interesting because my head is stuck in this state and I'm struggling to understand what he's saying. It's my understanding that since My girlfriend and I were away for that period (8.6*19) we should be saving $163 between us.

    Any help would be fantastic thanks!

  • Listening to an audiobook and studying?

    Could these possibly go together? I know listening to classical music has been proven to 'benefit' retaining of information, but what about an audiobook?

  • How much fuel would this car use?

    My cousin and I are trying to work out how much fuel I will need to contribute to her trip. The distance is about 1 hr away and we need to get there and back. Her car is only 4 cylinders. It's a late 2009 model, and pretty well kept, so I don't think outside contribution such as poor motor oil is something to be considered. Basically, I thought $15 was plenty of fuel for her car but she argues double this. However is only costs $50 to fuel her car to full, would it be safe to say that she will only use a 1/4 of a tank, and hence the $15 will be enough? I'm not being stingy it's sought of an argument that we have right now, if she needs more I will give her more. We're not counting other factors like wear on her tyres etc, as we car pool all the time for different things like uni... just petrol.

  • Would you have done the same in this situation?

    Long story short, I was walking out of a pub. This girl starting yelling, "This guy's name is doogle!!" Screaming it out and pointing to this guy in a pink shirt. I believe it was his girlfriend ... or at least a close friend ... anyway!. I laughed to myself and murmured "wow... doogle lol" He over heard me and yelled. "You think that's funny!?" I turned around and said, "Yeah... no not really dude" and kept walking. I heard a scream turned around, and this guy was sprinting towards me with his fist in the air, his girlfriend grabbed him and pulled him back, this shocked me and I ran back to get some distance. Anyway, he starting laughing at me saying "haha, yeah mate that's it run away you *****". After I felt de-masculinised. And I run it over and over in my head. I have had Martial arts training when I was a teenager, and I just relied on instinct when he ran at me... What would you have done? How can I control myself next time it happens?

  • I want to start reading Batman comics, but where to start?

    I want to start reading batman comics, and I have done a little research on where to start, but being a first time comic reader (I know), I'm finding it hard to understand. From what I gather, It's a bunch of different writers writing their own batman story, in different 'series'. But then some of the comics seem to flow off another series. Could someone explain this? Cheers.

  • Do Angels protect christians?

    I am a Christian. And I was bought up by my parents who were both Christian's, and I was baptised when I was young. I never really read the bible though, until high school. I had issue's with my beliefs and I questioned everything. I came to realise that my own personal beliefs were just fine and God want's me to ask questions so I can discover.

    Anyway, my question is this. Does it say in the bible that Angel's protect us? And is it just "Christians" or do they protect everybody (I like to think everybody)? Do we have our own personal angel or Guardian angel?

    Thank you in advance =)

  • Am I overeacting? I need an opinion?

    At the start of the year I moved into a house with some roommates, someone I knew from years before and someone I didn't. We all agreed to keep the house clean and had some small guidelines. About two months in, one of my room mates became very messy, and left crumbs and things on the floor, cleaning them up days later if not ever. The other room mate is leaving hair like he's malting or somerthing. I vaccumm as much as I can, but I get sick of it. Dishes are left on the sink (I do it sometimes too but wash up straight in the morning) whereas the other room mates seem to just leave them there. It's impossible to keep the house clean. I know I make a bit of a mess too, but these room mates rooms are just digusting. I want to move out and live with my cousin, however it wouldn't be fare to have them pay more rent, what do you guys think?

  • Women Answer please!?

    I just want some opinion. I know a lot of people, I mean a lot! Who are quite chubby, not really fat ( but some are). My question is, why would women prefer to date someone of this shape and size to someone that is skinny? Or is this just me noticing this? Because it seems that every girl that I try to get to know has a boyfriend who is just appauling in a figure size. They are awesome nice guys though, but some of them just kinda sit there playing games all day, and I'm just confused.

  • Did Hitler Actually Declare War?

    I'm having an arguement with my room mates. Basically, we all know that Hitler invaded Chezlovakia, and other neighbouring parts of Europe. When he invaded Poland, my room mates said he "declared war on Poland", I on the other hand disagree. I stated. "He had been invading countries for a while, without the league of nations really doing anything. Hence, he thought he would get away with it." I also stated that if invasion was war, then when he invaded Chezlovakia, that would of been a declaration of war, correct? But it wasn't, they let the Germans in with open arms. Don't get me wrong, I believe Hitler was a terrible Dictator, I just wanted to get some facts straight.

    So, what do you think????

  • Girls would you find this weird?

    So I met this girl and we starting talking outside a lecture and she was bringing up random topics, the conversation just flowed. Anyway, we ended up being put into a group together and we were needed to exchange contact INFO within the group I.E. Mobile numbers etc. So we did, and she stated to me and another guy, "I'm not going to put my email, if you need to just facebook me..." So I didn't understand if she ment to only if you need too, or if you want to add me. So I added her on Facebook, but girls would you be weirded out by that? Do you think it's a but stalkerish? Too be honest I will only need to facebook her for contact, because I too do not email anymore, I just message people through facebook. So what do you think?

  • Macbook upgrade question?

    I've been trying to play some games on my mac recently and I'm finding some really bad lag and freezing. The game requires 2GB of RAM with 64mb of video. My specs are 2GB of ram and Shared 64mb so I'm guessing that I need a RAM upgrade to have better game play. My question is this, If I upgrade the RAM to 4GB and a game needs 2GB of RAM and 256MB graphics will the RAM share more than 64MB? Sorry if it sounds a little confusing

  • Another Muay Thai Question?

    Ive been training in thai for about 4 months and I've pretty much got the basics down. However, I haven't started sparring yet, and I'm trying to save money for University and moving on campus ETC. I'm paying a lot of money just for training and we seem to just go over the Same thing everyday over and over. My question is this. SINCE I KNOW THE BASIC'S would it be sensible to say that I can train at home now? I'm not sparring I'm just learning technique. I plan to take it up again once I move. Anyone with experience in this area?!
