This episode tries to get answers to some of life’s mysteries that haunt us in the quiet moments of sleepless nights. Questions like, when to call a business so as not to be put on hold as soon as your call is answered? Where does the deja-vu feeling come from and does everyone experience it? How long can two people on different ends of a house take a shower before running out of hot water? How long can a turned on hair dryer with continuous power remain in a 1 x 1 x 1 meter box before something happens? When is the latest you can leave on any given day and still arrive across town on time?

Sherry says
Our kids thought the What If book is awesome!
(I am not paid for comments from author of book either!)
Theresa Boedeker says
He also has a newer book, “Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words”, that is a lot of fun.
Christian says
Wow I’ve always wondered how many gorillas it would take to take over the world. My guess in 100 billion.
Theresa Boedeker says
Not sure, but 100 billion sounds like it won’t be happening soon. Good news for me because bananas are not my favorite fruit.
