You were correct in the odds being one in six. Same as with one die. So if you threw that one die 1,000 times, your chances of not throwing a six get to be very large. That was my point.

Random number generators do what they sound like they should do. They are complex computer program codes that attempt to have…

So you're saying at the upper levels when you need wrapped candy, etc. that those don't appear more often than they do at levels under 10?

If that was true, no one would ever get to the upper levels.

Some time look up, and try to understand "random number generators".

While you are correct about 1 in 6, it's very evident…

As a recruiter a couple of things.

- Companies typically tell us things that are generalized. Too many jobs in 10 years. Not enough experience. Etc.

One of my early jobs was for Pullman in their corporate offices.

It relates to other things also.

Can't remember the site. It's a travel site that people review hotel/motels, restaurants, etc.

I was on a business trip to Elkhorn, WI. Someone else made the reservations. The reviews were either very good and there were three that gave the motel the highest rating possible. I've…

You seem to have a fascination with pallets.

A few years ago, Taylor guitars (mid to high end guitars), made a few guitars out of pallets, to show that they could produce quality sounding guitars out of any type of wood. Don't know how many they made.

Here in the US there's a difference between calling a company (they can just about only say that you worked there) and calling a reference. References are free to say whatever they want. If a company's representatives says something negative, it can be interpreted as preventing you from getting a job, which is illegal.

With the exception of the baby gate, I am most impressed with the other ideas because they are thinking more out of the box with their ideas. The shoe rack, for me, is the one that does it the most.

I also hope that the baby gate designer ties that thing to the posts with something. I can see a kid using that to stand…

What part do you consider illegal?

Did you ever think of understating your salary?

I'm a recruiter. Here's a VERY simple piece of advice.

There was a study of doctors and which ones were sued and which ones weren't.

Those who spoke to the clients a lot, empathized with them, and I'm sure apologized if necessary, were less likely to be sued than those who were closed mouthed and purely clinical. Their medical abilities were secondary.

The most expensive things that I've bought/sold on Ebay that were both good deals.

Within the last couple of weeks you had another, learn anything in 20 hours.

I'm a tracking judge for the AKC. On a Saturday and a Sunday I might spend 6-8 hours walking in wet fields during rain storms.

My favorite one. An Ebay item that I was looking at some time ago.

Can't remember the exact item. But, I know it was under $50.

You had various people charging $50.00 plus under $5.00 for shipping and handling.

I remember NOT getting a job offer one time.

Might want to READ what people write before you criticize.

There's a tremendous difference between using a STEEL rod, a diamond rod, and a DIAMOND sharpening stick.

Rick Bayless suggested it when I met him at his restaurant. I've used it for about 3 years. I'll take his advice over yours any day of the week.

A whetstone…

As has been mentioned, you need to ask questions to determine what's important to the hiring manager.

Let's say you're interviewing to be the french fry cook at McDonalds. If you go on about your hamburger cooking skills the hiring manager could care less.

"What do you feel are the qualities of the ideal candidate?"…

Doing this off the top of my head.
