A new language for climate change was voted in: “kokushobi” heat, >40°C (104°F), from the Japanese word koku, meaning harsh or cruel. 2nd choice for the new heat term was ‘super-extremely hot day’ or ‘cho-mosho-bi’, while ‘sauna day’, ‘stay-at-home day’ and ‘boiling day’ were also among the choices.
Thanks!
Did they say what they expected as the return? ie do they mean they don’t need it for their chosen degrees?
Any suggestions as to the cause?
What a great pic!
for sure
I found it very easy to think of a word after the first guess. But interestingly, there were only two choices.

thirteen charts. wildly different. some are circles, others crosses, horizontal lines, vertical lines, randomly scattered, and also, a picture of a dinosaur
i think my favourite version of anscombe's quarter is the "data dinosaur"
all thirteen of these graphs have the same mean, variance, and correlation
when people graph an average value, and nothing else, they're lying to you
Congratulations!
I’m surprisingly okay with this one. But the towel one blew my mind. Replace my towels when they are threadbare or smell? What a revelation.

As a Strayan, this one always gets me.
Yes! I learned this from another lecturer.
I cross my zs but I can’t remember why. I had a Turkish lecturer who did and I admired it. Perhaps that’s why.
