Nat did some fact-checking on himself. Here's what he found.Nat can’t make the claim that the difference between morning test scores and afternoon test scores adds up to a full standard deviation.

From When: “The effects of later-in-the-day testing were similar to having parents with slightly lower incomes or less education–or missing two weeks of a school year.”For more, check out the study: Sieversten, H, et al. “Cognitive Fatigue Influences Students’ Performance on Standardized Tests,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 113, no. 10 (2016): 2621-24Gödel’s proof is in 1931.Nat got the name wrong of the authors of the Principia Mathematica that Gödel was responding to. It’s Russell and Whitehead. First published in 1910.Support the show
