I think it would be quite hard to guess how much a talk would be "directly useful in my day to day work" given that we have no idea of either what your employment consists of, or what the actual content of the talk will be (having not seen it before). You're expecting the list to be able to give you a quantitative metric given no quantitive data (and without a scale - is 'directly useful' a number, a %, a quotient…). Sorry, but that just isn't possible without making an entirely wild guess… As such, I guess 42. Cheers Tomas
