It’s quite possible, after all these years, that you’ve been tying your shoes all wrong.
Would you believe that it’s taken a mathematician — one who wears lace-free Birkenstocks — to figure out what the BEST WAY TO TIE YOUR SHOELACES happens to be? Let’s take a look:
Remember the CALVIN AND HOBBES comic strip?
Kids today may not be as enamored with comic strips as their parents were back in the day – it really was the golden age of comics: Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Bloom County. Some would include Garfield on this list, but that may vary depending on how you feel about cats.

We’ve all heard about the CREEPY DATING RULE, where you’re not supposed to date anyone younger than half your age + 7, right?
So if you’re 30 years old, you can’t date anyone younger than 22 years old. And flipping that around – if you’re 30, you shouldn’t date anyone older than 46 years old.
22 years old through 46 years old. That sounds like a pretty reasonable dating age range, don’t you think?

There’s a reason that magicians and casinos both can fool you and take your money.
It’s all about the math. The probability. The statistics.
It’s about identifying the key common trait that everybody has, but is afraid to admit. If a magician asks you to pick a card, which card do you always pick? Do you think of one card, and then immediately switch to some other card (saying to yourself, “aha! they wanted me to pick that first card that came to my head, but I’ll show them”)…. only to find yourself at the end looking directly at the magician presenting you with The Card You Picked!?!?:!
It’s not always luck.

If you’ve ever played a game of Scrabble, you probably fall into one of two categories of players: those that can always figure out a way to play a seven-letter word on a Triple Word Score (and typically win a game by more than 200 points), or you struggle determining where to place an “E” for a 2 point score.
If you fall into the latter group: don’t panic – you’re not alone. Not everybody can memorize word lists and play any Scrabble word at will.
