The acknowledgment in this journal article that I came across recently, “What’s Interesting About Cricket?”, brought on a smile.
This paper was conceived while watching the one-day international cricket match between India and Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval, Australia in January 2000 by one of the authors. The other author was too busy watching the match.
It was unexpected – one of the measures for interestingness.
This afternoon, I hopped from Amit Varma’s recent post on the IPL to a Deepak Shenoy’s page to the Moneyoga.com website. I found something there that made me smile.
They have a link in the header How do I use Moneyoga. Clicking through to it, the first tip you find is:
Everything in BLUE is a link to another page.
Seriously, is that the first tip you want to give me about your personal finance website?
In any case, looks like their designers didn’t bother to code the a:visited in the CSS – visited links actually become red.
Amit, I’m not getting your point around the luck thingy. Each game has a binary 0-1 result. A coin toss also gives you a 0-1 outcome. Why is it surprising that your table of coin tosses looks similar to the table generated with the IPL games?
Hmm… it has been a slow afternoon.
