    Physics is the ugly sister of pure maths. Her popularity is based on her low morals.

    there's only two kinds of science. Physics and stamp collecting.

    disclaimer: I studied physics

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's sciences, and physicists.

    How did this thread turn into an episode of the Big Bang Theory?

    @chris-b General Science wasn't even an option for us at School C. You had to specialise.

    I bet @Snowy took Biology - and worked after school in the Butchery Department at Foodtown (as was).

    Sailings more physics anyway.

    My school only offered about 9 subjects and three of them were Home Economics, Woodwork and Typing.

    You were only allowed to take five.

    However, it was in North Canterbury with various Wyllies, Deans, Loes and Earls floating about at the time - which is why I know more about The Art of Rugby Football than all you fluffybunnies! 🙂

    Course E again today and light wins like 6-10knots NE.

    Course A would be the best in these conditions

    Light winds may mean no racing at all today.

    @bovidae I came across the harbour bridge an hour ago and the flags were hanging on their poles. Zero wind.

    @dogmeat

    And this doesn't help either:

    “There’s a very high percentage we won’t get any racing today. The prognosis going forward isn't a whole lot better the next couple of days,” Murray warned as a high pressure system envelopes the country.
    “We will go out and try our hand on Course E. We could get a NNE coming down the channel. It’s just a tricky day, I’m afraid.”
    A return to level 1 also means Murray can use the “stadium course” that runs between North Head and Rangitoto Island through, frustratingly, it isn't a good option in very light winds.

    We're getting smoked upwind and downwind. Fair play Italy, long way back from here

    Nah, TNZ was in a strong position in that pre-start before the postponement.

    TNZ needs to use their port entry advantage in race 4, and win the start and protect the right side of the course.
