Description In my physics ethics class, we were given the problem of looking for lost keys after sunset. The question suggested that the only place that you could look for your keys when it is dark outside is under a lamppost -- but under the lamppost in the light of day you can clearly see that there is mostly bird droppings there and no keys.
