In the process of moving again , after about twenty other moves in the past why doesn’t it get easier ? After boxing my cd s and records I really don’t feel like doing more.
And the fun bit is we don’t even know where exactly we are going to ! Just somewhere in Melbourne, hopefully close to wherever Mrs Trog gets a job. At least she left me with some beers in the fridge , to reward my efforts.

I recon thats a PITA,which it is.

Long story short.

My son helps the GF move out from her flat to a new place.
Then two weeks later helps her move back.(don't ask)

Three weeks later the owners sell the place,to a friend, and they are evicted.
They didn't have a lease,just paid week to week.

So then he helps her move out again.[bighmmm][bigsad]

Swedish death clean makes it a bit easier. Over the years we have had several “ forever “ places. Now I just don’t know.

Well, I got 5.

My method? Selecting answer B all the way through.

I remember reading somewhere, in multiple choice, the first and last answers usually not correct.
Oh, and a mate who's job is a lot of statistics, worked out more footy games are won at their home field, so, in the office footy tipping competition, he won by selecting all the home teams. What annoyed his work colleagues is he knew nothing else about football.

Multiple choice questions with only three choices are a lot easier to guess than those with 4.
If the test is made using Moodle the tester can set it to automatically scramble the choices each time the test is taken, so if say answer B was correct one time, the next time A, C or D will be correct.

In the footy example there are only two choices, home or away, so that's a 50% chance of being right. Does playing at home give a slight advantage - say 5%? That would only be true if the teams were close in ability. So you could assume the odds were say 55% if playing at home and 45% if away. But only if the teams were close. So over a season against all teams the odds would slightly favour a win at home games.
