Tuesday 13th (somehow less frightening to people than Friday 13th) - A friend studying a research project at the university asked me to do some tests for him, as he has to run a study with 24 people. I was happy to help out. It involved asking questions of an Alexa style app devise so my reactions to it responses could be monitored. The questions were easy, ie, Who sang Let It Be? The first run through the questions went smoothly. The second, the devise was set to mishear me so I had to repeat the questions, and finally it was set to reply to me with sarcasm. It was fun to do. I hope my friend gets the results he needs from his study. The rest of the week I stayed in, aside from job searching, shopping, and lamenting the heavy rain. Arthur Chappell

Sounds interesting about the research project, would love to have heard the sarcasm part, just to hear what a machine says to be sarcastic. We have been having lots of rain and storms, no fun!

@Ithink the answer were actually pre-recorded and came from a CD to simulate the sound of an Alexa type devise,
