@@ End of Day Wrap - Friday 6/6/14   Sydney, Australia   Time 9:20 pm

Great answers were given by reinout-g, Alan, Heureka, Zegroes, CPhill, NinjaDevo, Rom, Bertie, Sportslover, Narsin12, Kitty<3 and Rosala.

Narsin and Sportslover have join since my last wrap.  Zegroes and Rosala seemed to think they are also entitled to a formal welcome. So this is for all 4 of you.  Welcome to web2.0calc forum.  We hope that you learn lots and that you like it here.  

I didn't notice a lot of particularly interesting threads this time, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

I thought that this one was interesting and important for a couple of different reasons.  

Please take note of what Bertie and I have said.  It is important that you are interactive with your learning.  Answerers do not want to feel like they are just doing someone's homework and that the only thing that the asker cares about is the answer!  We want to help people learn!

I am sorry notsomathpro.  Our comments were not aimed at you in particular, I am sorry that you were the one in the firing line.

The question itself is also very thought provoking.  I hope i get around to looking at this question from 'behind the scenes'

You know, I was only gone 1 night and you kids think you can just move into my wrap thread and make yourselves at home.  And why is it that you are giving each other lots of points when my wraps never get any points.  I should go on strike!

People have been asking where I was last night.  I was at 'Vivid' which is an amazing light show in Sydney where moving picture lights are projected onto many of the buildings around our harbour. (I don't think that i said that very well)

It was a rainy day which meant that the crowd numbers were way down, for a while our luck held out and the weather was good.  Then it teamed and we were drowned.  The tadpoles in my pockets were the only really happy ones.  Not to worry.  It was all pretty amazing.  The best displays were snakes slithering across our museum of contempory art, and schools of fish swimming across the opera house sails, followed by a shark and some stingrays.  it was really cool!

Here are some pictures but they are never anywhere near as good as the real thing.  Rosala in particular wanted me to explain.  The scenes i described are not depicted here.  It must be different each night.

I hope no one objects to me puting this stuff in my nightly wrap.  I appologise if you do mind.

That is it for this Friday night in Sydney, Australia.  Enjoy the rest of your day.

Melody.
