OT: Science of dropping things

We need resistive load-cells measuring the washer/dryer weight. Then look for few-gram sudden losses. Or, will monitoring the socks' existence caus e the disappearances to halt? If it does, how about if we don't watch, and also destroy the record, will that make existing socks suddenly vanish?

I notice that for every ~10 missing socks, a couple of strange socks appear . Well, maybe it's cats. Someday we'll find many KG of catpee-soaked so cks packed into a big baseboard slot down in the cellar.

Mine are all black stretch socks with individual texture patterns, so I'm never lacking, but also I'm very aware of any gone missing.

I notice occasional socks with a holes in the heel, where half the sock has tried disappearing into the hole. A failed Klein bottle attempt? one which never went fully 4-Dee.

If Shroedinger is right, just leave the box open and they'll stop disappearing - problem solved!

Mens? Perhaps you wife...

I think you'd notice even one cat-pee-soaked sock hidden anywhere in the house.
