Just catching up on a couple of things, a few posts on the beeb have caught my attention lately.

Sony BMG Vs Amergence Group

How good is your maths!?

Do you fall into the 1 in 14 who can’t solve the following!?

What is one eighth of 32?

• a) 6
• b) 4
• c) 2
• d) 8
• e) None of these
• f) Don’t know

Shocking!
