i kinda agree with Kim, it does sound a little like chance, rather than good hard work!!! if that makes sense...maybe we need to be more clear as to what the probability thing relates to rather than providing dictionary definitions...assuming that this is where they came from...

true- but everything has a probable chance at this moment as its the probability of how the degree show is being realised. its not a term to reflect the probability of the degree show taking place- but in reference to the possible outcomes and consequences of all ideas and concepts which will then equal the final degree show.

it is just the name for the blog- not the actual degree show.it supposed to be a forum for discussions, participation and interactions that take place here, and which will then be a traceable element in the final outcome.

plus i made up the blog- and it took me a mission and a half to invite everyone individually- and i like the name... so there.
