A comment on Parrondo's Paradox. Parent comment
1) Wearing shorts and sandals all year round is a losing game (in this part of the world); you will freeze to death in the winter.
2) Wearing your warmest clothing all year round is a losing game; you will overheat in the summer.
This is a paradox, because the population of Canada should be zero. But wait! What if you just dress appropriately for the season?
