  1. this genuinely made me laugh, especially the "optimum TEDTalk" formula bit lol. honestly wish stats could also calculate the optimum way for someone to just take my pmp test for me rn, exam prep has me questioning my life choices way more than any TED talk ever could. great watch tho, definitely rewatching this later
