purplecthulhu at 10:59am on 22/10/2002I just had to share this more broadly after ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
purpletigron sent me a copy...
Its from here.
"The menu at the Coffee Garden at 900 East and 900 South in
Salt Lake City has included a scrumptious selection of quiche for
about 10 years.
The recipe calls for four fresh eggs for each quiche.
A Salt Lake County Health Department inspector paid a visit
recently and pointed out that research by the Food and Drug
Administration indicates that one in four eggs carries salmonella
bacterium, so restaurants should never use more than three eggs when
preparing quiche.
The manager on duty wondered aloud if simply throwing out
three eggs from each dozen and using the remaining nine in
four-egg-quiches would serve the same purpose.
The inspector wasn't sure, but she said she would
research it."

Mr. Butts adds, "This works for cigarettes, too! And you only have to throw out one little ciggie per pack! Give that little ciggie to a friend who smokes a different brand -- or to a kid who doesn't smoke yet! -- and it won't even go to waste!"
Oh wait, but Edmontonians are arguing about whether to strengthen the new smoking bylaw that just says a public place can't allow both cigarettes and children. Argh.
Truly unbelieveable
Anyway, if p(bad egg) is 0.25, isn't there a 57% chance of a bad egg in a 3 egg dish?

The link on the same page for "New enchanced obituaries" also made me go eek, but in a different way. The egg math one was an eek-sheesh.

It's not just a US thing:
My dad had to explain that no, you *couldn't* just keep choosing handfuls until you found one that was okay.
