几个有趣的定理

奈落的孤火花

今天偶然发现了这个有意思的定理：

Hofstadter's law: "It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law"

霍夫斯塔德定理：实际花费的时间永远比预计的长，即使你考虑到了霍夫斯塔德定理。

显然这个定理的句式可以像最近很火的那句“你不能只在……爱……”一样套用在很多地方。
于是好奇在知乎上搜了搜，看到这么一篇旧时文章 https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/21724864 ，挺有趣的，所以分享一下。
