today's problem statement;

"On 22 July 2005, an innocent Brazilian was shot
and killed by the police at a London underground station.
The police officers mistakenly concluded that he was about to
carry out a bomb attack on the city’s public transport system.
Jack is frequently reminded of the pitfalls of jumping to conclusion.
The example above shows an extreme outcome of misjudging someone’s intention.

Yet on a daily basis, Jack thinks we make quick conclusions more
often than most people think.
For examples, he moves away from the side of the road
when he senses a vehicle coming close to him.
Or he says ‘yes’ when his classmates ask him out for lunch
without carefully considering how much time he might need to finish his assignment.
Or he slots in a coin to the donation tin can
without checking for whom the donation is for.
Or he thinks that the two guys are gay when he sees them holding hands in the street.

Jack notes that it can be very tedious and inefficient to analyze
and deliberate every situation before coming to a conclusion.
Help Jack examine the nature of jumping to conclusions and how to make accurate conclusions."

haha, key thing is that brazilian guy was innocently killed
because he was suspected to be a terrorist.
he was thought to be an Asian guy, an Indian or a Pakistani.
and he was wearing a heavy padded coat on a sunny day,
the police thought that he was trying to hide a bomb.
so sad can!
he was rushing for the train and he was shot down by the police.
he was shot seven times!
STUPID POLICE.

anyways, today's problem was pretty interesting.
"look before you jump"
not literally, but more of jumping into conclusions.
think before you act out anything.
was really lazy to do presentation today.
thought of taking from other group and edit them
den in the end, we are the first batch to solve this problem,
so nobody has the powerpoint for it.
but in the end was able to do quite a good presentation.
haha. yay! quite contented with the powerpoint.
