	Amazon.fr : Art of Spelling: The Madness and the Method: Livres en anglais: Marilyn Vos Savant,Joan Reilly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Vos Savant offers some suggestions for spelling improvement, supplying common roots like anim-, arch-, and spec- and a list of 500 commonly misspelled words.
		Vos Savant points out that while it is true that spelling errors reveal a lot about the writer, spelling and intelligence do not necessarily go hand in hand: some highly educated people spell poorly, while some uneducated people spell surprisingly well.
		Savant instructs readers on how to determine how spelling methods reflect their personalities and provides a personalized approach to improving spelling ability.

		In her column, vos Savant answered, "Yes, you should switch." She explained that, obviously, there is a 1:3 chance that the original choice, door No. 1, is the correct one.
		As vos Savant explained, by removing one empty shell "we've learned nothing to allow us to revise the odds on the shell under your finger." She then presented a "probability grid" containing all possible permutations of the game, showing how "when you don't switch, you win one in three times and lose two in three.
		And if that isn't sufficiently clear, vos Savant asks the nation's math teachers to perform 400 trials of the "shell game" with their students, the first 200 with no "switching," followed by 200 "switches," with random selections to be made by rolling a die until a 1, 2, or 3 comes up.

	Marilyn vos Savant Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Vos Savant wrote novels, short stories, and magazine and newspaper pieces, mostly political satire, under a pseudonym.

		Hardly the stereotypical stuffy supergenius, the outgoing, fun-loving vos Savant became a favorite on the talk-show circuit.

	Marilyn vos Savant - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
		I was just curious if marlyn "adopted" the word as her name once she went public with her amazingly high IQ, or whether she came from a long line of really smart people with a surname of "savant", and it later became a word meaning what it does today.
		I'm pretty sure that "Marilyn vos Savant" (which I am betting is not her original name) is not as smart as she says, or at any rate does not know as much as she claims - she has answered a large number of questions of different kinds incorrectly, sometimes with glaring errors.
		The problem was quoted in a followup article in the American Math Monthly, and the author discussed the subtleties of the problem and possible ambiguities--but admitted that for reasonable assumptions, vos Savant had been right and the legions of mathematicians wrong.

		Her answer was different from Anya's, "Yes, you should switch." She explained that, obviously, there is a one-third chance that the original choice, door No.1, is the correct one and there must be a two-third chance that the car is behind door No.2 or No.3.
		In an effort to even more clearly illustrate the correctness of her original answer, Marilyn invoked the classic shell game, in which a pea is placed beneath one of three shells.
		After 92 percent of the letters Marilyn received expressed belief she was wrong, Frank Anderson, head of the University of Oregon's Mathematics Department, said, "Consensus is not the issue.

	Marilyn Vos Savant - Reviews on RateItAll
		Marilyn is probably a wonderful person who cares about people, but shouldn't a person with her intelligence do something more important than answer silly questions in a column?
		Coming from a world where I would often see the world through the eyes of a circus carny, she instantly dispelled the myth that being a good person and a good citizen is stupid and phony.
		It is only because of Marilyn's column and books that I have taken an interest in math and she has shown me new ways of thinking things I used to take for granted.

	Gudlyf’s World » Marilyn vos Savant is an Alien
		Maybe you remember my previous rant about Marilyn vos Savant, who has a column in Parade Magazine.
		The girl didn’t ask her for an opinon, but Marilyn took it upon herself to answer like it was gospel.
		I believe that this is the defining article that proves once and forall that this woman is an alien from another planet, and she’s utilizing her Parade column to do her dirty work, throwing people off her race’s scent before everyone wises up.

		The figure of 218 was derived by psychometrician Ronald K. Hoeflin, using a chronological age of 10 years and 6 months, and a mental age of 22 years and 11 months.
		Critics pointed to differences between the two cases, distinguishing the use of hyperbolic geometry as a tool for proving Fermat's last theorem, from its use as a setting for squaring the circle: squaring the circle in hyperbolic geometry is a different problem from that of squaring it in Euclidean geometry.
