A story about cutting roast's legs, what does it show? |
It shows that people are ok with not asking questions. They just automatically repeat what others do. They don't know how to ask questions. You shouldn't take anything for granted, you always should witness the things firsthand. This is the only way to live! |

The example of *less random shuffle*, what is it about? |
Some people were unhappy with Ipod shuffle, so Steve made it *less random*. This example shows that people misinterprete randomness with some sequnce. It's funny how people think that some things have sequence when they're actually random. A food for thought. |

Heads and tails bу an experiment and a man's mind: |
People think that randomness is kind of 50/50. So a man will write down it like: THTHHTHHTT and so on. While in reaility it goes like: TTTHHTTTTHHHHHHHHTHTHTT. That shows that people arу completely unaware of randomness and what it really is.

Tell me about a gambler's fallacy and few examples of it too. |
Gambler's fallacy - is when people think that if it goes black black black black - the next one will be red! That's too much of a black, don't you think? But what actually hapenns is: every new cut or toss doesn't depend on previous ones. In no way they have any correlation. Remember the story of 1913 when it was black for 26 times and casion made a ton of money in just a few minutes. |

How would set up *a milk-tea experiment?* |
If a girl is claiming that she can say for sure whether it's milk-first or tea-first, I would give her two of a kind. If she can really tell the diference she will find out that there is no tea-first actually. That's how I see it. Or you just increase the amount of tries. =) |

Why do we tend to see links between the things that confirm our beliefs and don't see the links else? |
Don't know yet. |

What is *confirmation bias* ? |
It's like when you see what you want to see and don't see what you don't want. |
