I have not read the blog post yet. I feel I would struggle with this task. I have not had any interaction with a bicycle in many decades. I would have to reconstruct the required mechanical structures from first principles, not memory.
using first principles is the key here - whether you remember or not, sanity checking the proposal vs physics is where people fail / don't even realize that there's a task
Even the sanity checking (in this example) requires substantial familiarity with the operation of a bicycle AND a high degree of mechanical aptitude. Plenty of opportunity to overlook something simply because I haven’t thought about a bicycle in ANY detail since childhood.
> a high degree of mechanical aptitude. ok, so you're getting back to the point of the blog post /shrug
“Plenty of opportunity to overlook something simply because I haven’t thought about a bicycle in ANY detail since childhood.”
if presented with a problem I would simply sit down, think, and come up with the correct answer
I’m a man so I can’t even imagine how you would get a WRONG answer to the tilting bottle problem. 
I wondered about this. I have two thoughts: 1) Perhaps some people (more women) think in terms of the *picture* being tilted, whereas others (more men) understand the question to be about the real-world situation that the picture *represents*
2) Perhaps some people really don’t ever consider that water seeks its own level. Not that they think it *doesn’t* but rather that they don’t think about it at all. It’s simply not part of their internal world, any more than the pitching roster of MLB is part of mine.
right, and again, your explanations, while correct, really don't contradict or refute or do anything to the initial point, so much as they dive into it and explain it a bit
Well lucky for me I wasn’t trying to contradict or refute or do anything to the initial point.
