The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXIII

[Borachio]

What's the difference between representatives and delegates?

Spoiler :

A representative is someone who is appointed to voice the opinions of a group of people.

While delegates is a setting on your washing machine.

Genuine (kind of) question: what's the difference between faction and fiction?

Factions can be real.

Given the inevitability of the US and UK eventually ruling the world, I am curious how long I must wait around for this glorious event to come to pass. 10 years? 25 years? 50 years? I -might- live another 25, but I am confident that 50 years is just out of the question.

McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries.

Works for me, but which victory does that constitute?

I'm going to go with USA#1!, naturally. Plus with all the European countries we 'recalled to life' we get all their votes for a diplomatic victory as well.

OK. Drawing a line under that subject, if I may be so bold.

And moving on (perhaps):

How many countries do not, yet, use the metric system?

 

[Chukchi Husky]

How many countries do not, yet, use the metric system?

Three. The United States of America, Liberia and Burma.

I see what you did there.

How many countries do not, yet, use the metric system?

Aside from USA, Liberia and Burma I think there are some countries that officially have the metric system, but the people there commonly use other measurements. These I believe mainly are in the British Commonwealth.

Are there any free math resources for high school level algebra and up? I'm asking since part of my interview process involves a math test.

That England has passed on the torch to US and we are the last hold out. Once US falls, then judgment will be metered out?

Who said anything about punishment?

I would like to know the answer to this as well. Sorry I can't answer the question myself.
