> [@Phatman](#): > > What waw the first Marilyn von Sand bust? If you’re asking about the current Cecil column about “busting” the smartest lady Parade columnist, her name is Marilyn vos Savant. I’d be interested in a list of all the busts. Especially any more where Cecil has to do the old backpedal 😃 ---

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. The date of the quetion was Nov. 2, 1990–it refers to a previous “bust” by Cecil a “couple of months ago.” Can anyone track this down? Thanks. ---

I believe usta was providing a link to the column you mentioned because it helps people to understand what’s going on. A link to the column is always appreciated in this forum. The column you’re looking for is this one: [If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many hens to lay six eggs in six days?](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_187.html) ---
