Marilyn vos Savant
Marilyn vos Savant es al parecer, hoy, la persona con el CI más alto viva (228, si mal no recuerdo). Entre, imagino, otras profesiones, ella mantiene una columna para la revista Parade. En la última edición un lector le hace el siguiente comentario: "I'm a person of average intelligence and an over developed sense of right and wrong. I have always been awe of people like you who have superior intelligence. My question is what obligation does a person like you have to the human race to use your intelligence for the betterment of society and shouldn't people with superior intellect have greater influence and responsiblity with respect to manage and allocation of world resources?". No sé si sólo soy yo o ese comentario tiene un tono de reproche enorme? (y creo que le encuentro un poco de razón)
Además, miren a lo que se dedica en su columna (que a propósito se llama Ask Marilyn!) Marilyn vos Savant: Una semana P: Say that a bag contains 100 marbles: 30 red, 30 blue, 30 green, plus a mix of 10 yellow and orange marbles. To be certain that you have 10 marbles of the same color, what is the minimum number you would need to remove (without looking) from the bag? R:Consider the unluckiest case: In whatever order, you manage to remove nine of the red marbles, nine of the blue ones, nine of the green and all 10 of the yellow and orange mix. So far, you’ve removed 37 of the marbles (9 9 9 10=37), yet you don’t have 10 of any single color. If you remove just one more marble, it will be red, blue or green, and you will have 10 of the same color. So the answer is 38 marbles. (app, igual la pregunta es fácil)
A la siguiente, con el titular "A reader challanges Marilyn" va lo que sigue: P: I’m writing about the “marbles in a bag” question. Your answer is wrong. The minimum number of marbles you would need to remove is 10, all the same color. The maximum is 38 marbles. Please be more careful in the future. R: My original answer is correct. The question was about how many marbles you’d need to remove to be certain you have 10 of the same color. If you were to remove only ten marbles, as you say, you couldn’t possibly be certain.
Una crítica estúpida, con una respuesta obvia. Cada uno hace lo que quiere, que cada uno se gane como quiera la vida. Pero lo voy a decir con una cita de una peli que me gusta:
Chuckie: Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you.
Will: Oh, come on! What? Why is it always this? I mean, I fuckin' owe it to myself to do this or that. What if I don't want to?
Chuckie: No. No, no no no. Fuck you, you don't owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me, 'cause tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50, and I'll still be doin' this shit. And that's all right. That's fine. I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket. You're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bullshit. 'Cause I'd do fuckin' anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin' guys. It'd be an insult to watch if you're still here in 20 years. Hangin' around here is a fuckin' waste of your time.
Eso no más. "I'm the gypsy/ The acid queen/ Pay before we start/ I'm the gypsy/ the acid queen/ i'll tear your soul apart"
