HW 9 - Freakonomics Response

        One of the most intelectual moves the people in the movie made was bribery. An example of this is, the people from the University of Chicago wouldn't have bein able to do there little experiment if they did not bribe the students with money. However this move was a waste because one of the students actually failed even though he was being bribed with money. So despite the failed attempt of using bribery this was still something the people tried to use to get there data.
        The most simple intellectual move that the people in the movie made was they went up to random people in the street to get information . This was done in the same time they were talking about peoples names (this section was basically during the beginning of the movie). The information the people tried to gather was all about names for example, what they think is a unique name. In my opinion, this is a good way to get sources because it is impossible to get corrupt data from this.  From the people speaking to other random people on the street we were able to learn that the patterns in our names are considered to be normal, but as we dig deeper we realize that the reason for that person having that name may actually be really wierd.
        The past tool leads up to the third tool thaqt was used which was statistics. the statistics tool was most displayed in the sumo wrestling. Untol today sumo wrestling was one of the most hnorable sports there was. The sumo wrestling went so far back that the japanese people would connect it to there culture and there religion. However honor and far play was not so honorable anymore because reasearchers had found out that 75% of the time one of the wrestlers needed one ore win to move one to the next round, they usually fought someone who was already garenteed a spot in the next round. The resason for this was because the guy that needed one more win would win, later on in the movie I found out that the sumo wrestler with the garunteed spot let the other wrestler win. 
        I believe that the statistics are the most reliable. I think this because hard facts is something that can't be tampered with and it can be very hard to change the facts. For example in the sumo wrestling part of the movie the authors were trying to show us that there was a conspiracy happening  where the person with a gaurenteed spot of going to the next round would lose 3/4 times to a fighter that needed one more win. Although it is possible that the person that didn't need a win didn't do his best in the match because he felt as though he didn't need to, and that the person that only needed one more win tried as hard as he possibly could explain the previous statistic but i believe that there was cheating going on. Another piece of evidence that was relied on by the authors of Freakonomics
