Alabama Paradox
Increasing the total number of seats of government might shrink one block's seats.
| S - | Ep - | |
| - min | ||
The Alabama paradox was the first of the apportionment paradoxes to be discovered. The US House of Representatives is constitutionally required to allocate seats based on population counts, which are required every 10 years. The size of the House is set by statute. After the 1880 census, C. W. Seaton, chief clerk of the United States Census Bureau, computed apportionments for all House sizes between 275 and 350, and discovered that Alabama would get 8 seats with a House size of 299 but only 7 with a House size of 300. In general the term Alabama paradox refers to any apportionment scenario where increasing the total number of items would decrease one of the shares. A similar exercise by the Census Bureau after the 1900 census computed apportionments for all House sizes between 350 and 400: Colorado would have received three seats in all cases, except with a House size of 357 in which case it would have received two.

Iago hoped for a commercial bonanza on Agrabah's Founder's Day, but during the sultan's celebration speech in memory of his Bedouin ancestor Hamed, the city's founder, a witch uses a magical hourglass to open a time portal, through which Abis Mal jumps without his faithful Haroud to change the city's history, putting his bloodline on the throne. So Aladdin and his gang jump after him, hoping to cross the 'Abysmal' plan then as they always manage here and now. Jasmine motivates her ancestor Hamed, still a mere caravan merchant, but Abis his, camel-driver Abnor. Abis Mal also brought the hour-glass and has the sultan-to-be thrown trough another portal to the dinosaur age, which makes Jasmine disappear too; this time only Aladdin and Genie get trough, just in time, and so on, even crazier when the hourglass gets broken so various ages mix into a time continuum...
