Do you like baking?

  I do appreciate baking -- I wouldn't claim to be a practitioner, aside from the pancake example above, but I have tremendous respect for the craft.

Thanks! What's great about HN is that we often get great comments from relevant experts and, as a community, we know how to differentiate between anecdotes and statistically relevant data. It's why the quality of comments is so high. So to put the question to rest once and for all and to verify the claims from Pelham studies, here are a few questions: - Do you bake? - Is that your job? - If not, would there be reasons for it to contradict Pelham's rigorous studies? did you maybe marry into your name? Thank you for advancing science! You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

  Thanks for your questions! It's very rewarding to be able to draw on the experiences I've worked so hard to build over a lifetime. To your questions: - Do pancakes qualify as baked goods? If so, then yes. - No, it's not my job. However, I do work with fintech and hence with banks and, on occasion, bankers... - Baker is my first name, actually. Will need to contact Mr. Pelham to see how the first name / last name distinction is reflected in his analyses.

  You have beautifully captured the kind of intellectual emulation that drives people to HN. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many great research projects started in the comment section. Maybe we should maintain a database of such good stories? MathOverflow has such a thread so why not HN?

Which? You're one who bakes or one whose surname is "Baker"?

  Option 3 -- first name Baker.

    You are an important piece of the puzzle. You must name your child Baker Baker. If he becomes Baker Baker the baker, we will finally have the answer if freewill truly exists or not.

      Would this child be equilateral?

This could be a totally random of a dive at the piece written but do you think if the person is named "Baker", that they will have a more prominence to bake certain things over other things? I guess that would depend on their preferences as well
