How close is Greenland to the United States?

The podcast examines the accuracy of geographical representations on world maps, particularly concerning Greenland's size and proximity to other countries, revealing distortions caused by the Mercator projection. It also investigates the widely cited £7.6 trillion cost of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 in the UK, clarifying that this figure represents the total cost of the energy system over 25 years, not the additional cost of decarbonization. Furthermore, the podcast analyzes UK house prices, challenging the assumption of perpetual growth by highlighting recent declines, especially in London and the South of England, and adjusting for inflation and earnings. Finally, it explores the mathematics behind the TV game show "The Traitors," discussing probability, Bayesian updating, and Shannon entropy, while questioning whether mathematical strategies can overcome human emotions in gameplay.
