I'd like to formally propose "Moran's Paradox"
Moran's ParadoxAn epigram addressing the phenomenon wherein a user rarely inserts a USB device correctly on the first attempt.StatementThe first time you attempt to insert a USB device into a USB slot, it will be upside down. Upon flipping it over, you have a 50% chance of it now facing the right way.OriginNamed for Dov Moran, inventor of the USB memory stick. And also because you feel like a moran when it happens.UsageTony: Dude, I tried to insert my thumb drive, but it wouldn't go in. So I flipped it over, and it was still upside down!Mahesh: Well, yeah. Don't you know Moran's Paradox? A thumb drive NEVER goes in right the first time.NotesUpon flipping the device a third time, you've only achieved a 75% chance of the device being accepted as offered. However, at 4 or more failures it becomes increasingly more likely that either the cable/device or the port being targeted is actually HDMI. via /r/technology http://ift.tt/2o8jNAb
