Neat, I've always wanted a Palestine. Where can I pick it up?

Who's Steve Jobs?

Also trees, natural light and less densely packed desks than in any office I've ever worked in. Unironically looks better than having a job.

I reckon you could manage a towel with a bit of lube and some sort of stick to help it on its way.

I believe in you, you've got this.

Right? I had a fresh mug of coffee to the left of me when I read it, feels like the scalding alone would make that worse than a bo staff without even getting into the damage a shattering mug could do.

I don't know of a proof that pi is normal in any base (even non-integer bases) so I'd be interested to see on what basis you can guarantee it.

Obligatory "pi hasn't been proved to be normal"

Yep. Sorry hetro women, the meme has spoken; you've got to be gay now.

This only produces a paradox if you fall for the usual fallacy that "at random" necessarily means "with uniform probability".

For example, I would pick an answer at random by rolling a fair cubic die and picking a) if it rolls a 1, b) on a 2, d) on a 3 or c) otherwise so for me the answer is c) 50%.

However, as it specifies that you are to pick at random the existence, uniqueness and value of the correct answer depends on the specific distribution you choose.
