Gray Watson's Delicious Caramel Goodness

• The activist is not the [person] who says the river is dirty. The activist is the [person] who cleans up the river. -- Ross Perot
• Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same way in any country. -- Hermann Goering, Hilter's 2nd in command, during his trial at Nuremberg.
• An acquaintance tells you she has two children and you ask her if at least one of them is a boy. She says yes. Assuming every birth has an equal chance of being male or female and you have no additional information about the children, what are the chances that both of her children are male?
  Choose percentage. No chance. (0%) 1 out of 6 (~17%) 1 out of 5 (20%) 1 out of 4 (25%) 1 out of 3 (~33%) 2 out of 5 (40%) 1 out of 2 (50%) 3 out of 5 (60%) 2 out of 3 (~66%) 3 out of 4 (75%) 4 out of 5 (80%) 5 out of 6 (~83%) 1 out of 1 (100%)
