Date: 2011-08-08 12:01 pm (UTC)I have actually had the experience of trying to get around a small part of Sudan in a car which had a satnav fitted (though it did not have Sudanese maps installed), and what is actually needed is for the GPS coordinates for Sudanese towns to be plugged into the system; that would make life easier for everyone, especially honest travellers of peaceable intent.
Perhaps it would be funnier if I knew anything about Portal 2.

Date: 2011-08-08 12:52 pm (UTC)However, if 60% of the smokers have been killed off by the age of 95, and only 30% of the non-smokers, then wouldn't you expect more non-smokers in that age-bracket?

Date: 2011-08-08 02:03 pm (UTC)If you have a population of 97 smokers and 3 non-smokers and 1 non-smoker (33%) is hit by a bus at the age of 20 and then 64 smokers (about 66%) die of lung cancer you are left with 33 smokers and 2 non-smokers surviving, which is still more smokers than non-smokers even though the death-rate amongst smokers was higher.
I suspect that if 100% of people who would be 95 now if only they had lived had done so then a rather higher proportion of them would be smokers than the proportion of young people today who are smokers.
