A single-panel comic. The comic says, ''[P(I'm near the ocean|I picked up a seashell)=P(I picked up a seashell|I'm near the ocean)* P(I'm near the ocean)]/P(I picked up a seashell).'' The comic shows a stick figure holding a seashell with seabirds in the background and the ocean crashing and splooshing. The image is captioned, ''Statistically speaking, if you pick up a seashell and DON'T hold it to your ear, you can probably hear the ocean.''
