1. Stanisław Jerzy Lec:

   Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?

2. Christopher Noble:

3. Kendra Chapman:

4. Rachel Blanchard:

   The child gets two confusing messages when a parent tells him which is the right fork to use, and then proceeds to use the wrong one. So does the child who listens to parents bicker and fuss, yet is told to be nice to his brothers and sisters.

5. Neil Gershenfeld:

   For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That's a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they're unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork.
