Bet kaip išmaišius paprastam puoduke esančią arbatą, bent viena dalelė lieka savo vietoje.

Tik nereikia maišyti labai stipriai, kad vandeniliniai ryšiai nesuirtų. Priežastis:

Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem: A continuous bijective auto-mapping on a genus 0 manifold attains at least one fixed point.

Pasaulyje yra bent viena vieta, kurioje visiškai nepučia joks vėjas

Unfair Dice Game

4 specially numerated dices are needed:

• 3,3,3,3,3,3
• 4,4,4,4,0,0
• 5,5,5,1,1,1
• 6,6,2,2,2,2

At every game, the opponent has a choice for any of the dices. The you choose the dice that is below the oppoenent's chosen one in the list above (below the last dice is the first dice). In this way, you always have probability of winning equal to 2/3. This is because distribution measures on random variables do not need to be transitive.

That is why it is called present.

An early version, printed by others on postcards:

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

Her later confirmed version:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I did not die.
