[zorro]

Why no 'Homework Helper' recognitions for people like 'gneill' and 'SammyS' who wrote more than 1000 posts helping students with homework questions?

The staff will review these members. Thank you for your nominations!

Thank you for your nominations!

Oh! so we have to nominate homework helpers here? I thought PF mentors are responsible for that.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Yes staff is usually responsible for nominations, but I'm not going to ignore your input.

The staff nominate, but they all listen to members input, especially when not all of the staff are actively involved in the HW forum. So if a member thinks that another member deserves the recognition, by all means, mention that here, or contact a mentor directly.

Zz.

I nominate "I Like Serena". She might not have reached 1000 yet, but she's incredibly helpful.

...there's a policy that a member must have 600 posts...

Is that in denary?

 

[micromass]

Is that in denary?

No, that is in (mod 601), so somebody with -1 post could also qualify...

I could be wrong, but my guess is that I Like Serena is a guy.

50-50 chance...

I'd say more like 60-40 or 70-30 in favor of being a guy. His/her profile page says degree in CS and math, which tend to be more male oriented, unless things have changed a lot since I was in school.

I don't know, when I was studying mathematics, then I was the only male in a class of 15...

I think we need to get some statistics and work out the probability.

I can't find any recent numbers.

More like 0% or 100%.

I nominate that penguin guy. Sometimes he knows his stuff.

Ah but does he know anybody else's?

I know your stuff!

You have to past a quiz first:

Calculate the maximum velocity of a sheep in a vacuum in furlongs per fortnight.

Easy. 1 Sheep-speed.

That question was as easy as "What is the mass of the Sun?" "One solar mass".

That question was as easy as "What is the mass of the Sun?" "One solar mass".

Or what is the mass of 1 kilogram
