Of course, there are problems with the logic (e.g. how do you define the probability of being left handed? one person, two hands, pick one, 50/50. One definition. ps, I like your description of problem better.

)

Funny....my answer was that they were all artists of some kind.

Intriguing. The top 3 kids in my high school graduating class were left handed. That was a class of almost 800. Great comeback!

Were you one of the three?

freshnesschronic · 09-26-2007, 02:42 PM

Hell no. I was in the top 16 1/2 % which is like number 118 or so.
