Balls and urns

From the great Iowahawk comes one of the most uplifting statistics problems I have ever read. (And I loathed, detested and hated my stat classes.) Do yourselves a favor and read it. Tell me you don't feel better about next Tuesday after reading that!

This is awesome. As someone who took several statistic classes I have been throwing things at my television when CNN announced Obama is ahead with a +/- 3% margin of error when he is up by 4.
