Introduction

In the early 19 twenties, ronald fisher worked at an agricultural research station north of london. He had been hired to help scientist there designed better experiments but he wasn't making much headway. The station's four o'clock tea breaks were actually a nice distraction. One afternoon, Fisher fixed a cup for an algie biologist named muriel bristol. She explained that she never drank tea unless the milk went in second. That's when the trouble started. Bristol refused the cup and said: I won't drink that.
