“The Barbershop Paradox” is one that is still debated today, and I have NO idea why. Today in this post we will discuss the problem, the debate, and why it is completely junk. This is not a paradox, it is another example of the “what happened to the other dollar?” question we have discussed. From …
I got to do something I rarely get to do last night, I got to spend time with my wife….without the child. I love my kid, but lets face it, absence makes the heart grow fonder. So we decided to go to the theatre, laugh at the take disruptive children outside message, and watch Pirates …
Two weeks ago I presented you with a rather difficult question. You can see it here I am sure a lot of you got very close but there is a very important and specific threshold that must be crossed to understand the answer. The threshold is this. The question is asked incorrectly. The premise of …

Easter passing recently, I got to watch my little girl hunt eggs for the first time. It was an incredible experience, and a memory that will stick with me until the day I die. It was rather frustrating at first I must admit. She is 18 months old, and paying attention is not one of her greatest …
The following is a seemingly paradoxical question. I was first asked this question in an economics class in high school.
