Episode 28: The Birthday Paradox, Ned Kelly's Armour, Cloud Appreciation Society, Scissors Paper Rock

Some REMORANDOM for your weekend …

Greetings All. We’ve come to the end of another week of posting. I hope you are enjoying the selection of topics. I so enjoy choosing them for you. It’s my favourite task every week. In another month or two we’ll have RR5 a fifth book from which to chose topics. We could either push this video podcast post to Saturday morning AEST, freeing up Friday morning for the extra post – or leave it the way it is now, limiting our posts to the week days. What would you prefer?

How many people do you need in a room before it becomes, more likely than not, that the two of them share a birthday? Surprisingly few, as it happens. We'll explain why.📍 Iconic images of Ned Kelly's armour have become part of Australian folklore, but who made the armour and how?📍 Clouds get a bad rap in our society. The now-20-year-old Cloud Appreciation Society is dedicated to countering that. We'll give you the backstory.📍 And finally in this episode, we look at the origin of the parlour game, “Scissors Paper Rock”, and how a Japanese robot has come up with a very unfair advantage.
