    Disturbing statistics

    Around 0.8% of my books were written by Jeremy Clarkson. 75% of those were an unwanted christmas gift and have never been opened.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Send them to his home address and ask for a refund.

      You have 500 books of which 4 were written by Jeremy Clarkson, one of which was not an unwanted Christmas gift which has never been opened?

        Something like that.

          Next step could be to estimate out how many books you have in total based on knowing that 4 of them are Clarkson's.

          Here's one method : Mark and recapture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

          Think there's also a way of estimating how many Clarkson's and total books based on drawing the first or second Clarkson, but forget that one now. Seem to recall that a square root was involved?

            No need for that. I've just catalogued them all.

              You could put the 4 books around the others and say "around all my books are Clarkson books".

                  As an avid radio 3 listener James May has been on for the last week talking about music, I just had him down as an OK geezer who is on the TV but he really knows his stuff on classical music and you do not get on radio 3 unless you know a tulip load about classical music.

                    And the other 99.2% are by Hugh Hefner, and will no longer open because of pages stuck together.
