Because if the mere indication of a weekday the balance on an account of 1/3 to 13/27 changes can then be still trusted the calculations? "I believe that the probability is the right tool to solve such problems," says Andrew Gelman, statistics Professor of the Columbia University in New York. He could not say how often arise, but such a tricky tasks in real life. What almost already soothing sounds. Our life is probably not so tricky like those puzzles that devise mathematician.

    In Internet forums, the problem is similar to the way controversial as once the Quizrätsel with the two goats. Keith Devlin of Stanford University says: "If you doubt still in it, then be comforted by the fact that you are alone." Some predicts that probability come across in Tuesday's boys' task to their limits. For if the mere indication of a weekday, the result of an accounting change of 1 / 3 to 13/27, can one trust the calculations at all?

    "I believe that the probability is the right tool to solve such problems," Andrew Gelman, professor says statistics from Columbia University in New York. How often arise in such a tricky task but in real life, he could not say. What sounds almost comforting.

    Maybe our life is not as tricky as those puzzles that come up with a mathematician.
