The twins Tim and Tom have an ice-cream shop
together. Tim has made a new flavor chocolate
banana, which tastes good. Tom has made a new
flavor chocolate cheese which tastes, well, less good.
They decide to test the two new flavors one day at the
shop, adding them to the usual assortment. At the end
of the day, Tom is enthusiastic because in their notes
they have marked that 5 kids did not like the chocolate
cheese while 10 kids did not like the chocolate
banana, which clearly means that his flavor is better.
Tim is perplexed but then he understands the situation
more clearly. Only 5 kids have tasted the chocolate
cheese and all of them have disliked it, while 20 kids
have tasted the chocolate banana. So many kids like
his flavor and it can be kept, while they should
completely forget the chocolate cheese attempt.

The very dangerous substance DHMO
On social media, you find a group of people that ask
to ban the chemical element Dihydrogen Monoxide
DHMO. They say that such a chemical element can
be really dangerous for health and for the
environment: a certain type of exposure to it may have
fatal consequences. In a nutshell, DHMO causes
everywhere in the world, on a daily basis, damage to
people and animals.
You ask your science teacher to confirm what is
written, and she indeed confirms the facts. However,
she discourages you from supporting the ban, despite
all the evidence that shows that DHMO is dangerous.
Indeed, your science teacher tells you that DHMO is
made from oxygen and hydrogen and that the
common name for that chemical is: water. The facts
are true because water can indeed be very
dangerous, just think of a stormy sea.

We love football
You have many friends who play football, and many
people of all ages play or like football, that is clear to
everyone. However, you read in a survey conducted
interviewing 100 kids that very few of them like
football or play football. They prefer other sports. How
can this be possible? Is there anything funnier than
running after a ball?
The survey was conducted at a sport event and
shows unmistakably that the kids like all kinds of
sports: basketball, judo, swimming, gymnastics,
tennis, ... However, none of the kids gives football as
their favorite sport, despite there being girls and boys
of different ages.
The date of the event catches your attention: it was
last Sunday afternoon, parallel to the big football
match in town: there is where all the kids who adore
football went!
