Question

Exercise. Find a typo in the following quote from an article by Malcolm Gladwell. As the day came to an end, Taleb and his team turned their attention once again to the problem of the square root of n. Taleb was back at the whiteboard. Spitznagel was looking on. Pallop was idly peeling a ba- nana. Outside, the sun was beginning to settle behind the trees. "You do a conversion to p and p." Taleb said. His marker was once again squeaking across the whiteboard. "We say we have a Gaussian distri- bution, and you have the market switching from a low-volume regime to a high-volume p21,P22. You have your igon value He frowned and stared at his handiwork. The markets were now closed. Empir ica had lost money, which meant that somewhere off in the woods of Connecticut, Niederhoffer had no doubt made money. That hurt, but if you steeled yourself, and thought about the problem at hand, and kept in mind that someday the market would do something utterly unex pected because in the world we live in something utterly unexpected always happens, then the hurt was not so bad. Taleb eyed his equa- tions on the whiteboard, and arched an eyebrow. It was a very difficult problem. "Where is Dr. Wu? Should we call in Dr. Wu?"
