- FabHK 6y agoThanks for that source, a talk by frightfully brilliant Stanford mathematician and magician Persi Diaconis. It contains another cute anecdote: > One of my most endearing memories of the great psychol- ogist of decision making under uncertainty, Amos Tversky, recalls his way of ordering in restaurants: “Barbara?

- Pamar 6y ago;) the whole piece is really a fantastic read.
