A practical guide to outguessing everything, from multiple-choice tests to the office football pool to the stock market. People are predictable even when they try not to be. William Poundstone demonstrates how to turn this fact to personal advantage in scores of everyday situations, from playing the lottery to buying a home. Rock Breaks Scissors is mind-reading for real life. Will the next tennis serve go right or left? Will the market go up or down? Most people are poor at that kind of predicting. We are hard-wired to make bum bets on "trends" and "winning streaks" that are illusions. Yet ultimately we're all in the business of anticipating the actions of others. Poundstone reveals how to overcome the errors and improve the accuracy of your own outguessing. Rock Breaks Scissors is a hands-on guide to turning life's odds in your favor.Binding Type: Paperback

Well-Built, Masculine, Watch and Jewelry Case
Color: Espresso, Color: Espresso
The description here on Amazon is very accurate, but I have to say the quality is beyond what I expected! The material is soft with a nice leather feel to it. And the small details, from the stitching to the hinges to the clasp appears to be very high-quality. It came in a very nice package, and was well protected during shipping. The one thing I really liked about it was that the dividers in some of the compartments are able to be removed, offering a little more versatility as far as storage goes (see pics). The case has a very masculine look to it, which goes with the larger chronographs I have. It also has plenty of space for accessories, such as extra watch bands.

Overall recommended for the price
Color: Espresso, Color: Espresso
Pros:
Looks fantastic, just like the pictures
The latch feels solid
Packaging was nice and it arrived undamaged
Price is good for what it is
Cons
Durability of the fake leather on the inside is questionable, I don’t think this is something you’ll be handing down to your kids or anything like that
This thing has a smell that I’ve never smelled before but it is quite unpleasant… hopefully that fades after a bit but it’s really not nice at all out the gate

Read description and check pics.
Color: Espresso
Box works well, for storage and display. It’s a bit shallow but works for flat storage. No key lock.
