What's wrong with the word "shoplifters"?

 

[Cal Weldon]

I think he meant 'exceptions'

Have you figured the spring paradox ?
See post #1019.

 

[Galu]

I didn't give it any further thought.

Didn't the attached diagram in post #1019 explain it?

 

[mchambin]

Thanks Galu, the link explains it better.
I had a better look.
The video explains it very well.
The text gives the detailed maths.
It is not a paradox, actually it is a "counter intuitive" system behavior.
Next in this video is an analogy with cars on roads. Pretty interesting, showing a counter intuitive result about car traffic. A well chosen case, where removing a road, improves traffic flow.

 

[Galu]

Yes, "counter intuitive" - that describes it well.

What is the area of the shaded rectangle?

 

[Galu]

I won't copy it here in case you are either German or of a sensitive nature, but look at the coil spring joke in post #8 of this link if you are neither!

What is the area of the shaded rectangle?

12

 

[Cal Weldon]

The shaded area is 10 square units.
Galu, I think that's a typical 3,4,5 triangle so the shaded area is 2x5.



On closer examination...

I pick Galu's answer.

 

[soundbrigade]

I would say that the area is light blue (turquoise) ...
