I was having a conversation earlier with someone about cooking and they mentioned that things cook faster closer to the sea level? Wtf? I really do not understand adding/removing pressure to a substance and how that changes boiling points? Also does that make the actual substance boil longer or would it just make it take longer to get there? Am I retarded?
What is the most money that you'd be willing to pay to enter the game in the St. Petersburg Paradox? There are an infinite number of possible outcomes, each prize increasing as 2^n dollars while the corresponding probability of that outcome diminishes as the reciprocal 1/2^n.
