A Game Theoretic Approach To The Toilet Seat Problem.
Is there by any chance a similar game theory approach to the problem of getting children to flush?
Yips! to Gary the Ex-Donk.

Posted by: Robbo the LB at February 9, 2006 03:17 PMMy boy loves to flush, too, and the only overflow problem I have so far encountered was dealt with entirely by me, with kidd-o in the other room being distracted by mommy, so I can't imagine he was scarred by the experience. Unless he overheard me shrieking in horror, which is a distinct possibility.
