Blair Cancels Another Book Signing

Filed Under : General news by admin
Sep.10,2010

Tony Blair has been forced to cancel another book signing due to fears of protests. We are wondering what your views on the controversy surrounding his new autobiography? Like it or not, you can’t deny that his book is going to be one of the most controversial and best selling books of the year. We will be posting our review of it once we get a chance to finish reading it but in the meantime, if you have read it, let us know your thoughts!

Don’t forget, you can rent it from our website if you want a piece of the action! Don’t buy used textbooks if you live in the UK, rent instead! Renting textbooks in the UK is so much cheaper than used textbooks, and even more cheaper than buying textbooks for your studies. Don’t be shy to comment below on your thoughts on Tony Blair’s autobiography, or if you have something nice to say about our service!!

A little mind game to get you guys thinking!

Filed Under : General news by admin
Jul.13,2010

So, we fancied creating a little quiz to give you guys. Once you know the answers, just tweet them at us and you’ll get a discount off your next textbook rental as your reward! First person to tweet the answer to question 1 gets a 10% discount, first person to tweet the answer to question 2 gets a 15% discount! Good luck!

1. A boy is 4 years old and his sister is three times as old as he is. When the boy is 12 years old, how old will his sister be?

2. There are forty coins sitting on the table, 20 are currently heads and 20 are currently tails. You are sitting at the table with a blindfold and gloves on. You are able to feel where the coins are, but are unable to see or feel if they heads or tails. You must create two sets of coins. Each set must have the same number of heads and tails as the other group. You can only move or flip the coins, you are unable to determine their current state. How do you create two even groups of coins with the same number of heads and tails in each group?

Remember, you need to tweet your answers @Acadreamia to win.
