Young, drunk, dead: How the silly season kills!

In 2020, according to the annual, independent Global Drug Survey, Australians were drunk more often than any other country in the survey. Melissa Cunningham reported in The Age (How to cure a hangover!, 11 DEC 2021) that  Australians admitted being drunk 27 times a year, compared with the global average of 15.

Naturally, a lot of this drinking takes place during the Christmas holidays or the Silly Season. Unfortunately, it appears to be the SILLY SEASON all year round in Australia.

Data from 32,022 people from 22 countries were used in the preparation of this Global Drug Survey

For binge drinking stats

2D Random Walk or doing the Bell Curve Shuffle

This is the best Middle School Probability outdoor exercise  EVER!

Equipment:

1 coin per student. 

Instructions:

In the schoolyard, students move back and forward with the flip of a coin. Must be a good flip. This exercise works best with a grid drawn on the schoolyard in chalk, perhaps. (See pic below) If possible film the exercise from above.

Now here are lots of people doing this 2D random Walk on Wall St. The results are totally amazing.

Watch for the Bell Curve. It’s AWESOME.

Mathspig lervs this music and also the ‘mathsy’ album cover too!!!!

But how much money do musicians earn via streaming services like Spotify?

The following information can be found at Business Insider.

What do you think mathspiggies? Is this fair?

If a group managed 20 million streams, which would be sensational, what would they earn?
