\ only a single Mongolian pine nut will cause her to go into shock and die.\r\nHannah has absolutely no idea that she\
\ has this gene, nor is there any way she could\r\nknow that she has this gene. One evening, Hannah and her sister Sarah\
\ are at a brand\r\nnew Mongolian restaurant that has just opened up. Hannah orders a plate of noodles.\r\nWhen her\
\ food is brought to the table, Hannah notices something that looks like nuts\r\nsprinkled on her noodles and wonders\
\ what it is. Sarah says, “I heard that Mongolian dishes are often served topped with Mongolian pine nuts.” Hannah notes\
\ that the menu\r\nsays her dish does not contain Mongolian pine nuts. Based on this, Hannah forms the\r\nbelief that\
\ the noodles are not topped with Mongolian pine nuts. If it turns out that\r\nthe noodles are topped with Mongolian\
\ pine nuts, then when Hannah eats the dish,\r\nshe will go into shock and die. Since eating even a single Mongolian\
\ pine nut will cause\r\nher to die, it matters a lot whether or not the noodles are topped with Mongolian pine\r\n\
nuts. Hannah is unlucky that her allergy is\r\nso serious: some other people with a slightly different gene will merely\
\ experience a slightly dry mouth if they eat Mongolian pine nuts. Just imagine how horrible it would\r\nbe if you or\
