When I ask people what kind of talks they want to see at Reading Geek Night, the answer is usually along the lines of 'all sorts of stuff.. techy, non techy, keep it eclectic'. So hold the 'eclectic' thought in your head as you read on!

Rob Ashton is a software developer based in Reading, and reckons he shouldn't be allowed to talk in public, but he's making an exception for us to bring some statistical rigour to an age old problem...

Men have traditionally been castigated not putting the toilet seat back down after use by the women of the household. With this talk I aim to cover the various options that both sexes have when operating the toilet seat, and through some statistical analysis work out a strategy that can make everybody happy.

Keep an eye out for a couple more announcement re talks over the next day or so. Plus I'm planning on getting another poster done to help you entice your work colleagues along.
