Let’s see if my math is correct:
1,000,000 schoolchildren x 1 minute
1,000,000 minutes/60=16,666 hours
16,666/24=694 days
694/365=1.9
1.9 total years of valuable school time wasted.
Results?
ZERO
GOOD JOB, BRITS!! :rolleyes:

The problem in this instance, of course, is that the chairs aren’t of uniform height.
Your math is incorrect. Perhaps 1.9 mythical “man-years” went into this project, but even if it was a waste, each child lost a minute.
Well, Vinnie lately your threads have been bombasted.
First, the parking space thread and now this one. Actually, I was on your side the parking spaces, but decided it was wiser to stay out of it. Keep trying, the third time is a charm or so they say.
