nostalgic stupidity
Statistics at Cañada College, Redwood City, summer of 2002
Professor: So using the RAND function on my calculator, I get the number 8.
Student: [Raises hand] I got a different number.
Professor: Yes, that’s because it’s a random function.
Student: But I don’t understand why my number is different from yours.
Professor: [Snappy] That’s because the little man in your calculator picked a different number than the little man in my calculator.
