What did you get out of 1000 hrs. of Susskind lectures?

[FredericGos]

My goodness no! It's the other way around! The Susskind lectures are excellent introduction before you pick up the particular chapter in your book and work through the practice problems.

Excactly.

On a related note, can someone explain curling to me?

Yes, a couple of guys I know, Mark Shegelski and Erik Jensen, can explain the physics of curling.
