#20 I grew up in a very small town of about 400 people. My school, all K-12, was in one building, so the normal class-size was extremely small. When my sister was in First Grade, she shared her unusual first name (Midge) with the teacher, and they both shared the same birthday.

I served in the Armed Forces; A Company is usually 150-300 people, a Battalion is 3-5 companies a Brigade is 3-6 Battalions. Out of the various units I have been in NO ONE EVER shared my birthday in 11 years. I know this because I usually had access to that information along with blood types and SSNs. I have seen or known of hundreds people that happened to be Christmas, New Years and even Leap Year babys. (Even my wife is a leap-year child.)Yet no one ever had my birthday. I even was in the same 35 man Platoon (usually 20-50 people in size) with a man whose SSN was only 10 digits away from my own SSN. BUT at my second job after the Service, 4 people in my building (of less than 40 employees) had the same birthday as I do!!One 15 years younger than me, one 8 years younger, one 3 years younger than me the last one 24 years older than myself. All of these facts are astoundingly rare on their own, let alone coupled like this.

When I was a kid and teenager I worried so much about missing out on something. I think that was part of the reason I could never sleep at night on school nights, during school I would be so tired but as soon as it was time to go home I'd be wide awake. No matter how hard I tried sleeping at night my body wouldn't let me, it sucked. I heard there is a name for it but I can't remember it.

The double negative paradox... A linguistics professor says during a lecture that, “In English, a double negative forms a positive. But in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, in no language in the world can a double positive form a negative.” But then a voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

If you’re doing 2 tasks at once, the maximum amount of brain power you can give each task without losing some amount of focus on the other is 50%, 3 tasks 33.3%, 4 tasks 25% and so on

Those who study human productivity will tell you true multitasking is a myth. At best, you can rapidly switch attention and focus from one task to another and back again. So we do not perform multiple tasks at the same time, but instead we might perform multiple tasks within the same interval of time. But we never truly perform multiple tasks at exactly the same moment in time.

#17 Paradox of Happiness Most never realize, but when one tries to be happy, they tend to see and focus on all of the reasons why they do not yet feel happy. That leads directly to unhappiness, which leads to more wanting to be happy, which leads to more unhappiness and so on. You end up creating a looping paradox within a paradox.

Hi Mike, I have 1½ paradoxes for you lol. (The half picks up where you left off with one.) The Bootstrap Paradox. It was the basis of a film fairly recently regarding John Lennon, or so I believe (haven't seen it), but I love the Dr Who version of it. (Obviously I'm paraphrasing, but the outcome is the same.) A composer is pretty much obsessed with Beethoven and his music. He gets the opportunity to go back in time to Bonn (Beethoven's birthplace) during Beethoven's life there. He decides to take a copy of the sheet music of every piece LVB ever wrote to get the great composer to sign them. However, when he gets there, nobody has ever heard of him, not even his family. There's no sign of someone who is pretending to be someone else but can only be LVB because he's playing that music. Worried that the music he still has in his possession will disappear (à la Back to the Future and the photo), he changes his name and after copying it onto the manuscript paper of the time, "publishes" the first piece. This is successful and there's no sign of his hero popping up and complaining so he repeats his action with the second opus, and so on. During that time he does as LVB did and travels, settling in Vienna (I hope my memory is good enough here. Please forgive any errors, it's stupid o'clock in the morning here.) The paradox is, who wrote the music? If Beethoven never existed, how was the music written by him? Did the modern composer write it all along with the ability to travel in time always being the key to the existence of the music? There are numerous versions of this, but I love Peter Capaldi's explanation so much! Btw, Theseus wasn't the name of the ship but its owner/captain. There's a second part to that paradox and it asks that if all of the original materials which were replaced are used to build a replica (though one assumes a tatty and rather leaky one!), is that replica now the "real" ship of Theseus? Enjoy!

As far as the paradox of age, the reason people get happier as they get older is because they begin to understand what's important in life and they stop sweating the small stuff. So it has nothing to do with the deterioration of their body as they age it's the maturing of their mind.

The Monty Hall problem depends upon the algorithm used by Monty. If Monty wants the, you, player to lose, then he opens the other door to give you an opportunity to lose when you have a winning pick. Otherwise he would not have opened the door. People not changing their minds merely suggests they are untrusting of Monty, and why wouldn't they be? If Monty randomly chooses the door to open, then sometimes he would accidentally reveal the prize, but we know that never happens. If his goal is merely to make the show longer, and he does not care if the person wins or not, then it is 2/3 probability as the video says. However, if Monty wants the person to win perhaps as a means of communication during a rigged game, or if he is nice guy, then the player will win every time by changing. The thing that makes this fun is finding out if the player should have trusted Monty. If what the video says is true, that most players will remain with their original choice, that puts Monty in control. He can adjust his algorithm to get any average outcome he wants. The highest entropy algorithm, the least predictable, would be the one where he causes a 1/2 outcome.

@@d.e.b.b5788 Assuming that data you gather from monty is 'stationary'. It might be that Monty acts by a pattern where such an approach would not work. A refined approach would be hypothesize algorithms that he might employ, and to test if any correlate well with the historical data. Then add the assumption that if he did it before he will continue doing it. Such an assumption might not be a good one, for example when analysing coded messages, and then the code book is changed or the code page is turned. You could add a layer to that and hypothesize that some data determines which algorithm he will use, i.e. which page in the code book he will use, and then test that hypothesize against the data.

The Media Paradox: Statistically, airline travel is the safest mode of transportation when comparing the number of safe, uneventful flights to crashes. Since airline crashes are so rare, the media responds with blanket coverage, and they try to keep the story alive as long as possible. Because of the media reportage, people then think that airline travel is extremely dangerous and the least safe way to travel.

There's the paradox of time. If i went back in time and I killed my grandfather, would I be born. If I wasn't born, how can I go back in time? etc. ?

5:07 This is a perfect example of what I meant about statistics not being practical in every day use. There might only need to be 23 people in a room to have the same birthday. But why have I only ever met two people with my birthday?

The paradox I’m most familiar with is, can I buy 1 more pint & drink it before the last bus home? Or can I have another drink without the other half realising? I grew up in pubs & I heard these asked many times.

I could be wrong, but i think there is more to "Catch-22" than what you described. Basically you missed a part (if I am correct). 1) in order to want to be out of the army, you have to be sane. But 2) to volunteer to be in the army, you can't be sane. It could be that "battle " should be switched for."army". It has been a very long time since i watched the movie 'Catch-22'.

Zeno reasons that an infinite sum of finite quantities must be infinite. But it turns out that an infinite sum of ever diminishing sized finite quantities is not necessarily infinite. E.g. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 .... = 1 This is a very nice paradox for young math students to ponder.

But the number 1 cannot be achieved, since it takes an infinite number of steps to get there. The number 1 can only be achieved in reality by a finite number of steps.

​@@binkwillans5138 Numbers are an abstraction and it is in logical constructs based on numbers these paradoxes can arise. In the 17th century there were debates over whether counting numbers were natural or abstract. In the natural world you are certainly correct. In contrast if a person constructs mathematics and develops rules such as 'infinite', then we find that an infinite number of these abstract entities sum to be a finite value. Note that I refer to infinity as a rule. That thing that is always so big that any number divided by it becomes zero. Should we disallow such abstractions as being unnatural? To do so would eliminate a lot of mathematics that we have found to be very useful.

Another paradox you missed, Mike. If you keep making clickbait-y comments like "wait until number 'n', it'll blow your mind", will people be more inclined to watch? The answer? No, we'll be watching anyway. Don't cheapen yourself, Mike, your lists are great as they are and most (if not all) people will watch the whole thing without the needed for clickbait-y comments. Tell your writers...no more clickbait-y comments. That said, as always, loving the work!

You initially worded the birthday paradox wrong. "What are the odds one of them shares a birthday with you," is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT question from the actual paradox, which is "what are the odds any two of them share a birthday."

For the hanging paradox, assuming the prisoner carries out the analysis you have given, then he will believe he cannot be hung on any day, and so he will therefore be surprised by a knock on the door at any time at all.

I taught at a private school with small class sizes. One year, in a room of 10 people, I had 2 students with the same November birthday and 2 with the same June birthday. A couple of years later, in a room of 11 people, I had 3 people who shared the same November birthday (same 2 students and the TA).

6:00 The Paradox of Aging is actually a Healthy Individual bias. The older an individual, the more likely that individual who do not have a life which makes them happy are significantly more likely to have passed away or be unavailable for polling, due to the things in their lives which would make them unhappy. Statistics can be decieving.

There is a twist for #3 Ship Of Theseus. Your intuition probably tells you the ship remains the same ship even as all the parts are replaced just as you believe you remain the same person as your molecules or cells are all replaced. However, if you also assume that as each part lf the ship is saved in storage after it is removed, and when all have been replaced the old parts are reassembled to make a ship, it seems this ship has at least as great a claim as the one with the newer parts to be Theseus' ship. They cannot both be The Ship Of Theseus, since they are not identical with each other.

Pub paradox is not a paradox if there's only 1 person in the pub. "Every Rule" Paradox... Ever heard "Every Rule Has an Exception" ? Ok.. so that means THAT rule has an exception.. so NOT every rule has an Exception... Schrodinger's vet walks into the room. "Well Mr Schrodinger, I have good news and bad news..."
