Two-envelopes paradox


It seems quite easy to take a decisión when we know all data of the various offers.

Nerja. A little paradise.

Nerja is a beautiful fishing village with many attractions: beaches, coves, cliffs, prehistoric caves, mountains, history, tourism and superb climate.

  

Definitely it worths a visit, especially in low season.



You can visit it virtually on my publication: Nerja, a warm village.

By the way, we'll find spirals, sunflowers, pine cones, shells, roots and leaves, methods to win on sport bettings, violins, the Vitruvian man... ah! and a bit of Maths, of course.

I hope you will enjoy the new story of  Matifutbol: Fibonacci also plays football
