3) 1c Current (2006) global annual production is 68 million, having grown by 4% in the previous twelve months. That corresponds to 186,301 cars produced every day.
2b Population growth is currently (2006) about 80 million per annum.
3b Annual seaweed consumption by the average Japanese household is about 3.5kg.
4b Adult brains lose about one gram of brain mass per year, but this process only begins after the age of about twenty. So we can be sure that the teacher's brains are shrinking, even though the students themselves may not have shrinking brain mass!
5a The current figure (2006) is 0.4% and this has quadrupled in the last ten years. Further growth is forecast, especially in Europe, but for the lifespan of this book, the figure is highly unlikely to go above 1%.
6c It's very difficult to estimate the figures with any real accuracy, but experts think the number will be greater than 2 billion before 2015 (inclluding people speaking English as a second language. In 2007, the figure ws estimated to be 1.3 billion.

OK GO - Here It Goes Again
It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.
[Chorus:]
Just when you think that you're in control,
just when you think that you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known,
should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of the reserve.
Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.
[Chorus]
I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.
[Chorus]
