Toilet Seat Gymnastics

by

Economist Hammad Siddiqi has used game theory to model the seat up/seat down “conflict” as a two-person noncooperative game. It’s amusing, but the math is real.

In other toilet-related news (what a way to start off a blog, eh?), this won an award for “Most Bizarre” micrograph. (via Good Math, Bad Math).

    I’m not sure which is more bizarre — the article or the photo! Both are great to see!
