Good morning everyone - and something of a shaky start to our new month with Kate throwing in not one but two curlies for us to contend with.
One of the players got very lucky and picked up the points there but the other ... well that's another story !!

How did you fare with these ??

Cruise Control
Macaroni Cheese
Plane Table ... well done, HandBagLady !!
Pink Noise .... now this is really a new one on me !!

needless to say, the Mac Cheese was very popular with most of us, and the STAR TURNS for two correct were from ALID5, BEEJAY1124, MR A, CPFCROSIE, SIBTON & NO 1 OFFSPRING so they've got their new month to a good start, likewise the 48 other players who picked up a point

So Very Well Done to all and we can only hope to improve when we reconvene next Saturday for round two .... till then, stay warm and I'll see you later skz

Thanks Steff....at least I managed to score one more point than on the MM Links Game! Did anyone get Pink Noise?

Well done all the other point scorers.

Morning. Who or what is Pink Noise ?!! Interesting to say the least. Dare I tell Mr A he scored 3 points? I will, honest :D

Thank you Steff.

Brenden

Morning seekeerz, thank you. I am one of the 48, one better than last week.

Thanks seekerz. I should have stuck with first thoughts! (cruise control, not either of the curlies). I wonder whether KM sits in her crossword-setting office chuckling with glee and saying 'That'll fool the AB crew!'

Brenden

If she does tearinghair she certainly succeeded.

Well done to those of us who managed some points. I thought Pink Noise would be really to obscure to put.

Pink noise or 1/ƒ noise (sometimes also called flicker noise) is a signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density (energy or power per Hz) is inversely proportional to the frequency. In pink noise, eachoctave carries an equal amount of noise power. The name arises from being intermediate between white noise (1/ƒ0) and red noise (1/ƒ2) which is commonly known as Brownian noise.
Within the scientific literature the term 1/ƒ noise is sometimes used a little more loosely to refer to any noise with a power spectral density of the form

where ƒ is frequency and 0 < α < 2, with α usually close to 1. These "1/ƒ-like" noises occur widely in nature and are a source of considerable interest in many fields. The distinction between the noises with α near 1 and those with a broad range of α approximately corresponds to a much more basic distinction. The former (narrow sense) generally come from condensed matter systems in quasi-equilibrium, as discussed below.[1] The latter (broader sense) generally correspond to wide range of non-equilibrium driven dynamical systems.
The term flicker noise is sometimes used to refer to 1/ƒ noise, although this is more properly applied only to its occurrence in electronic devices due to a direct current. Mandelbrot and Van Ness proposed the name fractional noise (sometimes since called fractal noise) to emphasise that the exponent of the spectrum could take non-integer values and be closely related to fractional Brownian motion, but the term is very rarely used.
