120 = Dealing Probability and Healing Gullibility

120 = Dealing Probability and Healing Gullibility

🃏 What are the odds of actually winning Morgan’s very specific, very fun card game?


🤯 Are people more gullible now? And what are the best ways to persuade someone they are wrong?


👻 And, appropriate to the season, there will be some Any Other Boooooooooooooosness


If you have some ingenious suggestions of what Matt can do in lunar gravity, head to www.aproblemsquared.com and submit your idea as a ‘Solution’


Head to our socials to see Matt’s graph plot and stats on the odds of winning the card game, as well as Bec’s beautifully laid out existence proof of the 52 Card Game!

001 = Sizing Shoes and Selling Organs

001 = Sizing Shoes and Selling Organs

Problems featured in this episode: What's the deal with shoe sizes? Buy my body! Re-refridgeration. Nice knick-knacks for nieces. Bec Hill: http://bechillcomedian.com/ Matt Parker: http://standupmaths.com/ CORRECTIONS: 01:04 Matt says "early adapter" when he means "early adopter". But it could be both. It’s a podcast that changes you. 18:08 Bec says "4" instead of "6". Don't worry: the maths was all ok. Phew. 26:22 Bec says "implicit permission" when she means "explicit permission". She will definitely double check before she repurposes any one else's teeth.
