Discovered an interesting fact today while I was reading "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In the Night-Time". Not only this fact though, I came across much more unrealised stuff, but this was the most amazing one. Those who have read this book might have come across this:
You are on a game show on television.On this game show the idea is to win the car as a prize. The game show
host shows you three doors. He says that there is a car behind
one of the doors and there are goats behind the other two doors.
He asks you to pick a door. You pick a door but the door is not
opened. Then the game shows host opens one of the doors you didn't
pick to show a goat(because he knows what is behind the doors).
Then he says that you have one final chance to change your mind
before the doors are opened and you get a car or a goat. So he asks
you if you want to change your mind and pick the other unopened
door instead. What should you do?
Marilyn vos Savant said that you should always change and pick the final door because the chances are 2 in 3 that there will be a car behind that door.
But if you use your intuition you think that chance is 50:50 because you think there is an equal chance that the car is behind any door.
So, if you change, 2 times out of 3 you get a car.And if you stick, you only get a car 1 time out of 3.
And this shows that intuition can sometimes get things wrong. And intuition is what people use in life to make decisions. But logic can help you work out the right answer.

LETS slack~~~for the MEAN TIME..coz MYE is OVER.......but EOY is not..so its a temporary-slack period for now..
Hi I'm Qwerty.
Why, you all know that. So let me move on to the latest news of myself. Er..what..??? ok never mind. I try to be the narrator here..
FOR THIS POST onli.
Qwerty,Mei Xuan, Eeping,Hui Shi and Shu gee went to IMM right after the Listening Comprehension which was..the end of the MYE.
Eeping was told by her dearest mum to go back and have a change of clothes coz her mum dun wanna her to go out in SCHOOL UNIFORM,while MeiXuan went back to get her cool cell phone.
In the meantime, Qwerty, Huishi and Shugee went to the bus stop and ..wait.-.- duh
AND IN THE MEANTIME while waiting..all of the 'desired' bus that they were going to aboard at least passed 10 or more when Eeping came back. of coz before that, meixuan came back as well. So we sat there waiting for our next 'desired' bus to arrive. I borrowed Meixuan's mobile and..watched some videos......hey dun misunderstand me..not THAT kindaf video eh...in case some of you are curious...let me tell you what video they were: er..sorry cant tell you. If you wanna know, ask me personally in SCHOOL.
and somehow in the middle of the videos, Qwerty saw a caterpillar hanging in the middle of the ground and shelter of the bus stop..which was, to make it easier to understand, hanging in the mid air.....with its 'silk'
then they were all watching watching wathing the caterpillar make its way up to the shelter slowly...and..it made it. Congrats.-.-
At last..502 express arrived and they departed from the Hua Yi bus stop.
AT LAST again..they've reached our destination which was right in front of IMM.
MeiXuan and Eeping decided to cross the traffic using the pedestrian crossing while Hui Shi,Qwerty and Shu Gee decided to Jay walk. Nah, not Jay walk actually. Its, in fact, JAY
RUN.
Thus, they jay ran across the 2 main roads but mei xuan and eeping were stil at the process of waiting the
GREEN man.
Shu Gee, Hui Shi and Qwerty went in the humongous(haha not so exaggerating) shopping mall and found the ground polished until it was like in the
ice-skating ring where you can skate/glide through the way.
Now for the funny part:
Qwerty and Shu Gee used the
soles of their shoes to slide all the way and found quite a little amusing with a little..umm exciting??
They were hanging around the so called entrance as we thought Meixuan and eeping will come in through the same entrance as they does. And so, the 2
childish freaks(no offence) were stil sliding their way to and fro right beside Mos Burger. Aren't they creative-user-of-shopping-malls-polished-floor?
You bet.
Never did they expect, Meixuan and eeping had already arrived at the MacDonald's. Thus, they made their way to the Mac's.
Shu Gee suggested to Qwerty that both of them GLIDE/SKATE to the Mac's.
Yeah, not to forget of our pro girl, HuiShi, she kept a distance from us throughout the journey of SKATING/GLIDING.
They almost glided right up to the entrance of Mac's.
After which, they decided to wait for the lunch meals and not the breakfast meals of mac as it was only 10 plus or so.
Therefore, they decided to stroll around and they eventually went in to the Mini Toons. Qwerty saw the Chip and Dale squirrels and exclaimed CUTE!!! well, they are really cute. Qwerty bought a Dale Mobile holder cum photo display.
Don't you think that Qwerty is a vase ok. I mean, don't think that Qwerty likes to buy useless items ok. In fact, she bought it as a Belated Mothers' Day present for her mum. AWW,, ain't it sweet?? (I'm gonna puke dude. Who wrote that?!)
It was 11 already. We proceeded down to the first storey and to the Mac's to have the lunch meal.
After the sumptuous meal, Shu Gee suggested that all of them go to Best Denki.
And then they proceeded to Popular Bookstore!!! All of them went in .(Of course!)
Qwerty was crazy when she saw the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Poster displayed in front of the cashier counter..OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.Then Hui Shi and Qwerty helped Mei xuan to look for the kindaf folder which is A4 and loads of holes to attach to the type of file that mei xuan has. Searched but to no avail. Hui Shi then suggested that maybe they have it in Daiso.Next, Qwerty proceeded to the Teenage fiction and loads of story books section together with Hui Shi, Mei Xuan , Eeping as well as Shu Gee.
Woww..lots of books there. Sigh, but Qwerty was bankrupt. However, she could at least afford a book which cost a minimum of 4 bucks.Qwerty moved on and spotted the <> and went quite crazy about that book. Qwerty stil remebered the cost of that book: $16.73Mei Xuan and Qwerty moved to the chinese section and spotted <<三字经>> and after a while decided to purchase the same book as it cost just the price that Qwerty could afford, which obviously, Mei Xuan ultimately could.
After the purchase, all of them went to the CD section of Popular. Qwerty, as usual, saw something which crazed her. Hannah Montana Soundtrack which she had been looking for since the first day when they declared published to S'pore.
Ahh, too bad. Another one was Vannessa (Anne) Hudgens.
TOOOOO BAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD.. broke already. TTOOOOO BADD.
Qwerty, together with Shu Gee spotted a Michael Bublé 's CD and Qwerty joked with Shu Gee that he was also one of the actors from High School Musical which was obviously NOT! and Shu Gee started singing "Call me irresponsible"
and said that it was one of the songs which the advertisements advertised about the CD of Michael Bublé 's. Qwerty also kept on saying that he sung in the movie, High School Musical which made both of them laughed. Not only did they laughed.
THEY ALMOST LAUGHED WHILE ROLLING ON THE FLOOR.
And Shu gee also kept on singing "Call me irresponsible". and the funny part was, it was only the 2 of them laughing, the rest weren't.
They decided to go to Daiso next. From Popular bookstore to Daiso, it may be an estimation of 300-400 metres. Between that distance and even when Qwerty and shu gee went into the Daiso area, they were stil laughing over the Michael issue, which Shu Gee pronounced the Bublé wrongly together wih eeping. It was supposed to be BOO-BLEH. Not bubble or BOBO...lololololololololololololol
OKOK I think I've spoken enough..Although theres stil more to come. But am tired ya know..Now its almost 2 after MIDNIGHT.
