Wired logic, weird logic

If you don't like signals and systems, you should probably leave now. (PS : I'm writing this while under medication, so this might make sense to me only till the morn. Damn you fever! Edit : I read this again when in a better condition. There are unexplored analyses corners. I shall leave this as an exercise to the reader to figure out :-P ) TL;DR : Exams are too easy. Tough to differentiate. OK, I'm going to model the current examination and selection procedure very simplistically. The student is an deterministic function who can reproduce the same level of throughput at any given time plus a uniformly distributed random noise. Deterministic part says that the guy knows the answer independent of the situation he is in (like answer to 2+2). The noise accounts for the time variation of the student's ability - he may be sick on a day and not remember anything, or he may take a double dose of red bull and mug the entire text book.

Andaman attracts tourists from all over the globe due to the crystal clear waters, awesome beaches and wide spectrum of underwater sea life; making it a great location for snorkeling, scuba diving and just relaxing on the sandy beaches. The best times are April - July and October - January according to websites. Port Blair, Havelock, Neil, Diglipur and Baratang are some of the famous tourist locations. I'll share my experiences of a week's vacation to the Andaman islands with two of my colleagues.  We decided on the destination based on a few hours of googling. The prospect of diving in the clear waters was the one thing that interested us the most. We were not too keen on visiting the regular museums, travelling long distances for different spots flocked by hundreds of generic tourists. I also need to mention that the isles are ef...
