I could care less about the laptop, tell me more about this 1TB SSD for $255. Also, how are they fitting 2 GTX 1080's in a laptop?

I'm the opposite. The stress of finding contracts or not getting an income until I do, managing the sales, business, and financial side of things almost more than what I liked about being self-employed.

Some things suck, but I don't care what happens at work unless I'm clocked in and I have weekends now.

The comment elaborated on the explanation of "non-trivial" and didn't explicitly say you can't lie. Right? Or am I not hearing this correctly?

Some of the questions incorporate a "new idea" or allow you to change elements. Triangle boxes, prisoners who can make requests, tired tennis players.... I introduced a yellow dot or am I supposed to change the variables to two?

I'm also thinking it would need to be at least a couple hundred people to be classified as a town. Which then the odds of someone subconsciously counting a number that high in their head is unlikely.

In a classroom with 30 people right now and I couldn't tell you how many of each gender there are unless I actively try. If that meant certain death, why would I count?

The correct answer is fixed on the last option. I don't see how this proves anything.
