Some people just don't appreciate the math that underpins our classical universe. Like today, for instance. When I dropped this cooling rack of buckwheat caramel squares, exactly half of them landed sticky-side down on the floor. It was the same experiment to test if a piece of buttered bread or buttered toast would end butter-side up or down. It was an amazing probability distribution of 0.5 in spite of the multi-variate inputs, force of gravity, varying weights, force of swearing, etc. The randomness of it all conformed to theoretical statistical probability in this ad hoc Monte Carlo method. She-that-continously-disapproves-of-me was not impressed with this experimental result and the exactitude of the value of observations. I guess some people just don't have a mind for maths. (In case you counted the squares and came up with an odd number, I ate the one that suffered the most topological deviation when it transferred its potential and kinetic energy to the surface of the floor. Deceleration has no impact on flavor on impact. Inquiring minds want to know these things.)
