You are a little statistician, aren't you? LOL.
The US economy is taking a SERIOUS SERIOUS correction. Disregard ANYTHING
you may be hearing from the actors on CNBC & Fox Business news. Most
industries are at the beginning of a long, painful recession. Capital
Markets are drying up (the ones my clients need to start new projects).
Cisco must be selling a hell of a lot of gear in emerging market countries.
The US banking, financial, retail, services, and education sectors are
definitely on the ropes bad. I don't know how the Accountants of these
companies stay in the kitchen as they do with the books on the stove, but
they do it, quarter after quarter...
Ken, If I sell you $20m in routers, and If I let you pay me with $20m in
promised future business contracts, can I book $40 million dollars in
revenue this quarter?, You bet! I'm a corporate accountant; I make sure we
hit our numbers for the street...
To solve your conundrum Euclid, my study plan is
Monday 6pm to 12am 6 hours
Tuesday 10am to 5pm 7 hours
Wednesday 6pm to 12am 6 hours
Thursday 10am to 5pm 7 hours
Friday 6pm to 2am 8 hours
Saturday 10am to 11pm 13 hours
Sunday 10am to 11pm 13 hours
I added up first before asking Gen. Roman. ;)

Joe,
How do you do it man...how do you manage to pull off 60 hours a week of
study time?
Based on an avg 7 hours of sleep, 8.5 hours (5 x days) for work, and 5 hours
of study on the week days + 3 hours of misc time. That accounts for 157.5
hours of a possible 168 hours in a week...and still only yeilding 45 hours
of study time. Does your work time and study time overlap?
Just curious on how you do.
Sleep Work Study Misc Daily Total
Sun 7 10 3 20
Mon 7 8.5 5 3 23.5
Tue 7 8.5 5 3 23.5
Wed 7 8.5 5 3 23.5
Thu 7 8.5 5 3 23.5
Fri 7 8.5 5 3 23.5
Sat 7 10 3 20
49 42.5 45 21
Total 157.5
7x24 = 168
Remaining 10.5
Cheers,
Ken
