Increased navigational precision may result in increased collision risk.
In the case of ships and aircraft, the advent of Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation has enabled craft to follow navigational paths with such greater precision (often on the order of plus or minus 2 meters), that, without better distribution of routes, coordination between neighboring craft and collision avoidance procedures, the likelihood of two craft occupying the same space on the shortest distance line between two navigational points has increased.

Martin (R. D. Robb) and Bridget, two farm children in Maryland, are hurled back in time to get the truth about an ancestor.
Two children are transported back in time to solve a mystery involving their ancestors, and return to the present to a startling surprise. Back when TV portrayed kids as kids should be, this is a refreshing little TV movie about two children who are transported to the past to clear their great, great uncle's family name. An uncle who was always branded 'the black sheep' of the family. From the get go our young heroine, Bridget, is endeared to the heirlooms and handsome picture of Otto Fromer. In their adventure they realize the rumors about their great great uncle were misconstrued, he was a hero! Bridget and her brother endanger their lives to protect Otto from capture and hanging, and hopefully a terrible fate lost at sea. The script is solid and the story flows along, you wish it was more than 45 minutes! The performances are wonderful all around. If you are an Adam Baldwin fan, this is a real treat. His character Otto is very dashing and adorable. Amy Locane proved herself to be a real talent as a child actress. V REVIEW TV REVIEW; 'OUT OF TIME' ON NBC, A JOURNEY BACK TO 1851 By JOHN CORRY Published: January 29, 1985 ''OUT OF TIME'' is nice, and don't dismiss that, either. There is nothing wrong with nice television; niceness means civility and an observance of honorable standards. ''Out of Time,'' an NBC ''Special Treat,'' is an adventure story done with care. It will be seen on Channel 4 at 4 o'clock today. The story is about two farm children in Frederick County, Md. - Bridget, 13 years old, and her brother, Martin, 9. Through a time warp - and where would television be without time warps? - they are transported back to 1851 Baltimore. ''Where are we? What's going on?'' Martin (R. D. Robb) says. ''One thing I'm sure of,'' the sensible, pretty Bridget (Amy Locane) says. ''We've been brought here for a purpose.'' And indeed they were. They find that an ancestor (Adam Baldwin), maligned by their family as a ne'er- do-well and gambler, was really an abolitionist, working to free slaves. He helped run an underground railway. Thus ''Out of Time'' is not just an adventure story; it is an adventure story out of American history. The details are fine. Old Baltimore looks rich and layered: smoke, fog, barrels, horses, crinolines, homespun, top hats, parasols, sailors in stocking caps and striped shirts, whisky jugs and pewter mugs. Sometimes Baltimore looks like Dickens's London, but that's unavoidable. You get smoke, fog and hustle and bustle on busy streets and, like it or not, you'll get Dickens. Still, the program isn't a bad history lesson for young viewers, even if it does sometimes seem a little bland. Slavery was part of our social fabric, but some good people worked to erase it. Meanwhile, Dion Anderson gives a nicely modulated portrayal of a slave trader. He's a bully and a cheat, but not a monster. ''Out of Time'' may even be saying something here about the banality of evil, but not in a way that will frighten young children. And a word about the time warp: it's satisfying. It seems to reside in a chest in a hidden room in a barn. When Bridget and Martin look into it, thunder booms, lightning cracks and a wind arises fiercely. As time warps go, that's not bad at all. The kids also use it to return home. ''Out of Time'' was produced by WRC-TV, the NBC station in Washington, in association with EFC Productions and the National Endowment for the Humanities. It was directed by Michael Schweitzer and written by Ruth Pollack, Ira H. Klugerman and Patrick Prentice.

The Necktie Paradox

The Necktie Paradox

A wager between two people seems to favor them both.

S  -  Ep  -

A wager between two people seems to favor them both.
The necktie paradox is a puzzle or paradox within the subjectivistic interpretation of probability theory. It is a variation (and historically, the origin) of the two-envelope paradox. Two men are each given a necktie by their respective wives as a Christmas present. Over drinks they start arguing over who has the cheaper necktie. They agree to have a wager over it. They will consult their wives and find out which necktie is more expensive. The terms of the bet are that the man with the more expensive necktie has to give it to the other as the prize. The first man reasons as follows: winning and losing are equally likely. If I lose, then I lose the value of my necktie. But if I win, then I win more than the value of my necktie. Therefore the wager is to my advantage. The second man can consider the wager in exactly the same way; thus, paradoxically, it seems both men have the advantage in the bet. This is obviously not possible. The paradox can be resolved by giving more careful consideration to what is lost in one scenario ("the value of my necktie") and what is won in the other ("more than the value of my necktie"). If we assume for simplicity that the only possible necktie prices are $20 and $30, and that a man has equal chances of having a $20 or $30 necktie, then four outcomes (all equally likely) are possible:
