Title: Should you take the bet? A problem from Marilyn Vos Savant.
Abstract: Marilyn Vos Savant is famous for having the highest IQ ever recorded. She writes the weekly column "Ask Marilyn" for Parade Magazine. She is also famous for some very controversial answers to readers' questions, especially questions involving mathematics and logic. In this talk we will highlight a few of these controversial problems in mathematics. We will also look in detail at a fascinating question involving logic and game theory that she answered. This problem has not receive the attention that some of her problems have, but it is equally complex. It is also not clear if Marilyn was right or wrong in her answer. |
