"12" is not intuition. It is repetition.
- hgsgm 4y agoIt's misapplied intuition for double ratios. If a triangle has sides 3:3:3 in feet, in inches it has sides 12:12:12.
- btbuildem 4y agoWhy? Because if three hens laid three eggs in three days, then it means one hen lays one egg per day - so twelve hens, given twelve days, will lay twelve eggs. That's the immediate reasoning, right? It's very easy to fall into that trap, and miss the fact that two of the variables were changed.
