Get the Paradoxical Eclipsemug. In probability theory, Birthday paradox is the phenomenon concerning the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, at least two will share the same birthday. The birthday paradox is the counterintuitive fact that only 23 people are needed for that probability to exceed 50%. The birthday paradox is a veridical paradox, i.e. a paradox that produces counter-intuitive results, but is demonstrated to be true nonetheless.
I always thought it was super rare for two people to share a birthday, but the birthday paradox says it only takes 23 people to make it likely!

Get the MAIN CHARACTER PARADOXmug. So this is a way to confuse everyone around you in an elevator when you walk in.
When you walk in an elevator, you do not turn around to face the door and continute to stare at the back of the Elevator.
To achieve maximum confusion, you walk out facing the same way untill the people in the elevator can no longer see you.

Get the The Elevator Paradoxmug. The Johnson Paradox is a phenomenon where a group of people love and support an individual, despite that individual lying repeatedly and showing the utmost corruption and hypocrisy in their daily life.
The individual might also be completely in contempt of their supporters and morally destitute, but the supporters cannot see the individual for what they are and support them regardless.

Reasonable Person 1: "So he lied to everyone and was forced out of office by his own party, yet when he returned yesterday, he was met with thunderous applause?"
Reasonable Person 2: "It's the Johnson Paradox in effect."
