Title: Side bet
Post by: Chompy on January 02, 2016, 02:33:45 PM
Player A wants to learn the piano

Player B wants to learn how to speak Spanish

They want a side bet to spice things up.

What's the best way of gauging success we think?

First one to pass a gcse in Spanish or grade 2 at piano imo (maybe grade 3 or 4 would be more appropriate to level the bet more).

GCSE? Can you just do one? Coursework etc?

You can sign up to an evening school and sit gcse's i think.  Some people do it for a hobby.

Remember my old man saying he had to do his GCSE maths at nightschool, when he was going through for his POs rate, so imagine you can do anything you want.

A has an advantage. He's already a player.

Assuming both from scratch, I'd say Grade 4 piano = GCSE Spanish in terms of effort required to get there.
