I had a midterm this past Tuesday. It's a small statistics class of about 15 people, and since Wednesday was a snow day, our TA managed to grade our papers and return them on Thursday.
Our proff handed them out, she quickly answered some questions regarding the test. A student that always sits in the first row, approached the proff to ask about a question she obviously got wrong... It went something like: "............ Find a nontrivial sufficient statistic for μ." The proff started to explain, and explain, and explain... repeating herself over and over... Student doesn't get it, she asks..
Student: "But what does nontrivial mean?"
Instead of trying to explain one more time, our proff decided to simply look up the definition of the word. She googled and searched... and finally stumbled on a definition that she deemed fitting... Proff looks at the girl and points to the screen, which also appears on the overhead...
nontrivial = not trivial
hahahahaha.... priceless

last weekend...
we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Kinga's...
To start a lovely dip with baguette and flat bread... on the side there was dish with olive oil and balsamic vinegar... it didn't make it into the frame somehow
a very lemony martini... and I mean lemony... total pucker face... yummy :)
when it gets warm in Kinga's kitchen the alarm goes off... this worked very nicely in preventing it
great bottle of red...
for dessert port poached pear, with slivered almonds.... a perfect ending...

I forgot to mention...
that at the end of dinner, Woodlot does not offer candy with your bill, but a nice box of matches... so much more useful
