For you who didn't bother to read the summary, or who didn't understand it,
here is an EVEN simpler form!
Disclaimer
Any monkey with half a brain should know averages don't apply to specific
situations. If you deviate from the scenarios painted below, DON'T go looking to sue me!
Especially since all the situations have been conjured up with pure Imagination, random
Dice rolls, and a healthy dose of Statistics. 'nuff said.
And oh yeah. Any resemblance to any person or bear is purely coincidental. You hope.

Tan Ah Kow
Mr Tan is a 29 year old Chinese man, who has been courting Ah Lian for 3 years.
He studied until O levels and then worked as a car mechanic. Now that they have
saved enough for their HDB flat in Bishan, they can finally get married!
Ms. Lim has just turned 27 years old, and married Johnny 1 year ago.
She met Johnny in Secondary School, but Johnny continued studying until ITE while she
went to work in a factory making Pokemon toys after her O levels. They
met up again 2-1/2 years ago, and true love blossomed once again.
They're still waiting a few years before their first kid, and not too sure if they
want a 2nd one.
Mr Bear is a 30 year old Singaporean Caucasian(Yes, that's not average),
who graduated from Law school 5 years ago, and is working with Pooh & Partners.
There, he met this sweet young Chinese secretary, 4 years his junior, and they're
getting married once they're really sure they're suited for each other.
Miss Sim is also 30 years old, and has been a busy Doctor for 6 years
now. She isn't attached yet, although 2 of her 3 best-friend classmates are already married.
Miss Sim still hopes to find Mr Right, and settle down and have 1 child, her biological clock permitting.
