Interesting game based on understanding risk and forecasting - you have to help Brad sell ice creams over 4 weekends by predicting good weather.

Apparently my advice is as good as that of a 'seasoned meteorologist' and I gained Brad £78.

Must be nice to be an ice-cream salesman, you got time off when you like to go scuba diving dry.png

I played this a few days ago, and was confused when I kept losing him money. After 2 or 3 goes I then discovered I was reading the scale wrong and was saying it was unlikely to rain when I wanted to say it was likely to, and vice versa! laugh.png

I then got something like £130 and was apparently a 'Red Hot Meteorologist'.

Firstly i nicked his van,

Then i kicked him in the Cornettos,

and then shipped him back to Sicily.

Not bad for first go.

Low score though.
