 | | I.Q. and recommended set ages
|
|
I was looking at the Mindstorms sets and noticed the RIS was recommended for ages 12+. I got to thinking that as far as I can remember, I think I could have handled this set at a much younger age (I am now 25). Then I remembered that I.Q. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I actually left out some other possibilities for small error. The weight of the bag itself is certainly an opportunity for error. Another opportunity of course is if any foreign material or scrap gets into a bag or on the scale. Of course this (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I had a relatively brief exposure to statistics, but have picked up bits here and there. I actually got keyed into the theory which is the foundation of the extra parts during a job interview. Yes, I actually learned something at a job (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) <SNIP> (...) WOW Frank! That was rather.... long winded. What's scarier? I followed most of it, from my University imposed, very brief exposure to statistics. Ewe... I think I actually learned something there! Matt (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yes. The thing you're missing is that pieces rarely are missing. The scale is there as a check. Further, the bag is weighed after every insertion step, or so the stuff we've read seems to imply. As soon as a problem is noted, it's time to (...)

(...) I'll have to check with the Mrs for clarification, but I can tell you that her manager is a tool without a solution, so I don't know how much more info is available to my wife. I'll check. Thanks for your answer! Dave! (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) That isn't 100% true. The pieces most often duplicated are the very small pieces. Usually an extra one of these is included because one of the quality controls on the sets is the weight of each parts bag. I assume the smallest pieces are too (...)
