Innumeracy

When you ask someone “What time is it?”, you rarely hear “one thirty three”. But why? Perhaps they haven’t spent the time needed to keep their watch accurate to the minute. And perhaps they judge that “one thirty” is all the precision you really care about. Yet when introduced to the volume of a ball, one hears it is 4/3 pi r3, rather than it is “one half the volume of the box the ball came in” (1/2 d3).

Quote for the day

“We should work like the rain. The rain just falls one rain drop after another. It doesn’t ask: Am I making a nice sound down below? Will the plants be glad to see me? Millions and billions of raindrops, only falling.” – Jakusho Kwong (1935 - ), American Zen Buddhist Monk
