Offices 'officially' in trouble?

[Barnacle]

Incredible that my office is never ever on this list

Because the managers are marking their own homework. False reporting to get their bonuses. Some would call this fraud.

[clashcityrocker]

Alternatively it is because your office doesn't fulfil the criteria to get on the list.

No. It is nigh on impossible to get on the list. Which just shows how bad these are.

[Mr Rush]

Conversely, I'm surprised we're still on the list. It's the three straight days under 30% tripping us up. The lack of sequenced trays on Saturday allowed a big chunk of what would otherwise be squatting in frames to not ruin this fantastic Day 1 of DM26.

In competitive puzzle circles, 149 is famous due to a legendary grid created by mathematician Arto Inkala. Dubbed "the world's hardest Sudoku," computer algorithms designed to solve standard puzzles by scanning branching possibilities found that the most complex line of logic required a staggering 149 consecutive structural deductions just to fill in a single blank square without guessing!

[Mr Rush]

Day 2 of DM26 and we're off the list! It works! Peace be upon the names of Ward and Walsh. The only mystery remaining is why I want to f***ing quit.

Mathematically, 106 is a centered pentagonal number. This means if you start with a single dot and surround it with consecutive pentagonal rings of dots, the 6th layer will require exactly 106 dots in total to complete the geometric pattern.

Can anyone explain why there are very few, and often no, inner city offices failing?
London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, etc are never on the list

[clashcityrocker]

Glasgow offices have been on the list.
London offices are all fully staffed and still on 2h 30 deliveries so they never fail. (It is along time since I have seen anyone have a pop at London. It used to be a common theme. I thought I would resurrect it.)

It may simply be that it is easier to move staff from one office to another to cover shortfalls in a city.
For example the Golders Green office and the Cricklewood office are in the same building. If Cricklewood are short a couple of bodies they can easily borrow them from Golders Green or vice versa.

Do they have more non drivers? Or is that a myth

[Mr Rush]

That got a genuine laugh. Have you been reading certain posts lately?

Think about the Bridgwater bikes, the London offices that still had job and knock plus midday finishes post 2010, 2 hours for a third, the record we had of most unofficial action for any group of workers. Martin Walsh was part of that.

[clashcityrocker]

Logic would dictate that high density urban areas could sustain more HCT duties and thus more non drivers but certain offices were sold (Paddington springs to mind) and shunted miles away from the postcode area they deliver to. So who knows?

I also think pushing an HCT over those pavements that are paved with gold may be problematic.

If you write the number 96 in base-5 (the counting system if humans only had five fingers), it is written as 341. But if you write it in base-11, it becomes 88, and in base-31, it becomes 33—making it a repeating palindrome in multiple counting systems!

[Clappedoutpostie]

Have they blown Milton Keynes up with DM26? Must be a large office that.
