Re: I Q TEST

I've clearly failed. I don't understand what is meant by "the pages in the book equate to 555 digits". I thought it might mean that the sum of each of the page numbers is 555.

Re: Do folk eat out less in Aus?

Ah, I suppose that's the difference, then. Out in suburbia. I am actually still surprised by Port Melbourne. The closer you get to the CBD, the busier places tend to be. Other hotspots tend to...
