Episode Synopsis

The starting point for this talk is the following obviously absurd question. Imagine that we are about to vote in a yes/no referendum, and we hope that the majority will get the answer 'right'.
Unfortunately, each person is completely clueless about the answer. Professor Imre Leader, Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, will consider what we should do. No mathematical knowledge required!
