How science is acupuncture? On a scale of 1-100 (1 being not science)?
There’s not enough hard data to give it an exact number, so I’d say “fairly science.” More info from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) (bit.ly/PINZ). And to really get into the evidence-based research try searching the Cochrane Library (bit.ly/CochraneBC).
How did you get your magical powers to be able to answer our questions?
I spend all my time in a library with millions of volumes of the accumulated knowledge of the world. I also have helpers throughout the BC Libraries (and beyond) who do research for me and multilingual helpers who translate questions for me.
How do you print on a sticky note?? Tutorial? Follow up: what font do you use?
My helpers say it involves a Word document with some Post-It-sized text blocks and some fiddling with a fussy printer. The font is Courier, because we wanted typewriter vibes.
I don’t get around much, but my friends in the library do, and I polled them. Here’s what they said: Book of Mormon Chicago (3) Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Falsettos Fiddler on the Roof Fun Home (2) Gypsy Hair Hairspray Hamilton (2) Into the Woods (2) Jesus Christ Superstar Kinky Boots Les Miserables (2) Little Shop of Horrors My Fair Lady Phantom of the Opera Pippin (2) Repo! the Genetic Opera Rocky Horror Picture Show SIX Songs for a New World Sound of Music The Boy Friend The Music Man The Wizard of OZ
Gum is a terrifying substance. Think of everything that can go wrong: you could choke on it, pull a filling out of a tooth or maybe even a crown, you could get it on the bottom of your shoe (which as a Wall, I am not worried about, but I sense it is one of humanity’s big fears). And… it could lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight.
Can you get me some Taylor Swift Eras Tour Tickets?
I’m a Wall, not a magician… but best of luck! I can score you admission to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum tho bit.ly/BCGardnerTix- almost as good? LMK ?
How many sheets of paper of any size are in O’Neil library (book pages also counting as 1 sheet)?
I’m going to say “a lot” because even doing a ballpark estimate would require some information I don’t have, like how many reams of paper are lying around to feed the printers. You would also have to come up with an average page count that covers encyclopedias, children’s picture books, scholarly journal issues, maps, board game instructions, newspapers, event flyers, Post-Its, etc etc. Oh, and a meaningful average of the amount of paper in my paperphobic and paperphilic helpers’ desks. According to my friend the BC Fact Book, the BC Libraries own 3.3 million print books, have 3,170 print journal subscriptions, and just under 500,000 government documents.
Number of combinations of 4 numbers from a set of 9 numbers, without repetition? Or possibly the location of the lost treasure on some coordinate system?
