Things I’ve learnt in Prof Omar’s classes

Since Prof Omar’s leaving, I’d like to make a tribute to him (cewah).

Things I’ve learnt in Prof Omar’s classes;

• The only time males have predominance in numbers over females is at fertilization 103:100. Every other time, females have a slight advantage.
  
• Women usually live 10 years longer than men thus ideally, they should marry someone younger than them.

• The human mind cannot focus on more than seven things at a time (usually only two) that’s why people always try to simplify things and reduce big things or numbers or categories into less than 3, no wonder Allah made everything in pairs...Subhanallah

• Francis Galton introduced the linear regression theory which means to go back to the norm or average. For example, tall fathers get short sons, poor fathers get rich sons. Any extremes will have a tendency to be drawn back to the middle or average.
  
• He hates the Malay word ‘rasa’. He says it causes them to not give proper thought to their actions and always going saya rasa….
  
  There are lots more, but these are the ones I jotted down.
