Snakes, HBW and Sensex

Yesterday while cleaning the house, Aparna spotted a baby snake of unknown origins. She managed to remain calm and waited till the creature left the house on its own.
The Pygmalion effect seems to be at work: we were talking about them and now snakes seem to be everywhere. I just saw one on my way to library.

Sensex seems to be inspired by the sudden jump in snake population in IIMC.
[“ Correlation may not cause causation, but I find that they often occur together.”]
It jumped so high, that the market had to be closed. What a way to get a holiday for BSE and NSE staff!

Time to get back to HBW for that is the exam I have to write tomorrow. Tomorrow I will calculate the probability of snake appearing again in my kitchen - the distribution function appears abnormal with mean at 500 and variance approaching infinity.
