...sober enough to think for ourselves. Ergo, I present to you the Anonymity-Sketchiness Ratio, easily remembered as the ASR. In order for your action to not be sketchy, its anonymity must be as high as possible relative to its sketchiness. For those of you still in Math Xa, anonymity goes in the numerator and sketchiness goes in the denominator. Higher numbers are good: it means your witnesses don’t know or care who you are. Lower numbers are bad: it’s like posting to your news feed—everyone will know.Assume...

...operates a floating sundries distributorship. The wooden hold of his boat is heavy with boxes containing small bars of Lifebuoy soap and single-use sachets of Sunsilk shampoo, which he sells to riverside shopkeepers for as little as 2.5? each.
