Seriously getting just a 70 in this course will make me happy. I am spending 5 hours every day on it and my mark is only at 74 percent right now. Any general tips how to study this better? I feel like I am memorizing a lot of the proofs and not really understanding the concepts...

Computer failure question (total noob):

def visits(name, n):

return "%s visited you %d time%s" % (name, n, [' ','s'][n>1])

print( visits("Harry", 1))
print( visits("Lorie", 3))


Where in here does the time%s verify if n>1 is true. In other words, why would it EVER add an 's' to 'time'.

Or...what's the relationship between n, [' ','s'] and [n>1]. ? I just don't see where the code is actually verifying for n>1 and applying it to 'n'. The terms between the square brackets don't seem to me to have any relationship to one another, therefore why is the 's' selected over the blank when n>1 ?

/fail@being clear.
/fail@everything, actually.

pros:
you get to be a slave to the pharmacy corps' lobying
cons:
you die earlier

think of it like this, they are injecting a virus you didn't even know existed before they told you you need to buy it and get vaccinated... if you're a male, you're an idiot to begin with.
just use a fucking condom, and if you're in a serious relationship, get tested.

Let's talk about the "you are doing it wrong".
Namely, what is the thing you saw someone do that made you facepalm: because illogical, stupid, whatever.
