happy 11th anniversary to this email sent to all staff at the School of Mathematics and Statistics

Dear All,

I am delighted to report to you the first results of an experiment that is being conducted in the tea room of this Department.

On 29 August, an Oslo Stainless Steel Cutlery Set (48 Pieces: 12 Knifes, 12 Forks, 12 Tea Spoons, 12 Dinner Spoons) was placed in a drawer in the Departmental tea room. A poster asking not to remove the cutlery from the tea room was attached in a visible location.

The original research plan was to monitor (in real time) the disappearance of the cutlery from the tea room and then fit a point/counting process model to the observed data. However, as the research project failed to attract any major grants (and so hiring a research assistant to do the work was impossible), it was decided to conduct opportunistic discrete monitoring only.

Here is the first result: sixty days in the experiment, the disappearance rates stand as follows:

Knives: 8.3%
Forks: 100%
Tea spoons: 58.3%
Dinner spoons: 41.7%

Possible conclusions include, but are not limited to, the following:

the people who removed the missing cutlery don’t understand written English; they don’t see forks as a special case of cutlery; forks are needed to do some kind of mathematics; the knives from the set are no good; small spoons are slightly more attractive than the large ones; things left in our tea room tend to disappear even if they are not edible; further research is needed to fully understand the phenomenon.

Best,
kostya borovkov

Portrait of a woman with brown hair and a black top in front of a green background with text about German reunification and gender inequality. Her quote says: German reunification brought together two different traditions of balancing family and career. Even 35 years later, these differences persist. While women's participation in the labor market has increased overall, the unequal distribution of care work remains a key challenge.

Unlike men, German women’s income drops by 20 percent on average upon marriage. Reasons are nonegalitarian gender roles and incentives for joint taxation. WP here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4ffpm... www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/a...
