Watched and listened to some of the Sheffield derby from Hillsborough.

PA announcement was crystal clear despite the stadium being built in the dark ages and a crowd of 33k.

Shall I give them a call and see where they bought theirs?

They probably have the last branch of Tandy in the UK.

And next week, Gremlins is opening at the picture hall.

Maybe I could help out. I was a brilliant sound engineer but I'm not one to, one to, shout about it.

Did we establish what 18/12 was? 

The method is explained earlier in this thread but........:facepalm:.......I'll do it again...

The first number is a recognisable time period so 12 is a year (12months) therefore 12/18 is 18 months

4/52 is 4weeks

3/7 is 3 days

There's 18 months in a year? 

That makes me .. errrrr..... 40 something. Happy days.

But your earlier number was 18/12.   So your recogoisable time period was 18.  ???

Now you're quoting 12/18.

 

Did you maybe have your original numbers the wrong way round?

Just catching up with this. So if 3/7 is 3 days, why is 24/7 not 24 days?

At least I know that 18/12 is a dozen and a half eggs.

It works either way around but I didn't want to confuse people even more.....

Because Robbo stated that the first number is your recognisable number.

which is in this case......24.

Which we recognise as hours, as in 24 hours per day.

So, as the second number is 7..... Hours x 7...the answer is 7 hours.  There, that's that sorted.

 

So when someone says....24/7, they mean 7 hours....piece of cake really!

 

:blink:

Pay attention M! 

12 months = 1 year so 18 = 1 year and a half.

Are you this slow at school?

Yeah, but... what's the 'recognisable period' about the first number, 3 in the 3/7 formula sir? 

3 men in a boat? 3 points for a win? 

So could the 'recognisable number' actually be the second number? I get the '52' as weeks in a year and '7' as days in a week. If so, then the '18'  seems a bit of a wide ball to me. 

Anyhows, I managed to get  2 out of 3 correct so that's a 1200/400, and a 'pass'.

12/52 is 12 weeks and 7/12 is 7 months. 

hours are quoted as a fraction of a day, days are quoted as a fraction of a week. Why are weeks and months both quoted as a fraction of a year? This system is nonsensical at best!

Perhaps we've stumbled across the very reason for the lack of efficiency in the NHS. Nobody has a clue what timescale they are on!

Tbh, I thought they were in common usage......obviously not!

Yeah see if you'd said 12/18 it would have made sense but you didn't :facepalm:

They probably don't even know what day it is.

Imagine the confusion when someone throws 3 numbers at them!

Work that one out.

Easy!

0.1634

I always use the decimal system for my dates. Much easier to remember I was born on 0.0362. That said, nobody has ever given me a birthday card so it's not the right system for everyone.

I had 25/9/17 as .7342 - your system is just plain ridiculous!
