		ableal on March 30, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The FedEx Problem I sort of collect amusing typos. Right near the top of page 6, label for Figure 2: "FredEx". Might be a Freudian slip - perhaps a FreudEx - or simply the now prevalent autocorrect. (I have "rear window defrogger" and "string loaded door" for trade, lightly used.)

Fyi: that's not a typo. See the middle of page 2, where the author introduces "the FredEx problem". The caption for figure 1 on page 3 also references the same problem.

Oops. Scanned too quickly on the way to the conclusions. Thanks for the heads up.

(Drats, it was a nice one.)
