Pi in the Sky

Here we are at around 4AM, and I just finished the marking. I have to say that this is horrific work to do, but I only need to do it two more times... Spent the entire week on this. Not worth it, definitely. Next time, I mark faster. One other thing to note is that I'm starting to use a lot of the MXC lingo during marking. For example, I use "uh...let's go!" whenever I start another round of 3 papers to mark (which seems to be more of a Lemmings reference, I guess). Alternatively, I would use "get it on!" in the same situation. Another example is "well, you're wrong!" (which seems to be more of a Hitchhiker reference, I guess). One final one would be "right you are, ___" (filling the blank with a student's name).

Of course I could have started marking on this last question earlier today, but then I sort of got Francis to my place and we sort of wasted the time watching television and playing Scrabble...speaking of which...

Here are the Scrabble results (the two capitalized words afterwards are the longest word in the game and the highest-scoring word in the game, respectively):
Round 1: Francis 214, Me 218, so I won. ENGINES, FREAK.
Round 2: Francis 248, Me 155, so Francis won. LIQUID, TIFF (such a weird word).
Round 3: Francis 179, Me 238, so I won. (Too many 5-letter words), JAB.
Round 4: Francis 233, Me 216, so Francis won. CRINGER, LINK.
So the conclusion is, we're all tied up. Also, whoever starts the game, wins the game.
