Answer:
Hilbert´s Hotel (by David Hilbert)
Explanation:
Imagine you are a foreign tourist that has just arrived to a town. In that town theres the<u> Hilbert´s Hotel</u>, internationally recognized for being the only hotel with <em>infinite rooms</em>. When you arrive to the lobby, you ask the manager to give you a room:
- Manager: "Im terribly sorry, but an infinite group of people has just arrived and all the rooms are full"
- You: "How is that possible? I thought you had infinite rooms
- Manager: "Indeed, but they are now full"
- You: "But that´s impossible... if there are infinite rooms they can´t all be full. I know there´s a way for me to get a room"
What would you do? You really need that room to spend the night...
NOTES: All the rooms are listed from one to infinity and only 1 person is able to stay per room.
SOLUTION
- You: "Look friend, all you have to do is tell the infinite group to move up one room, so the person staying the room 1 will move to the 2, the 2 to 3, the 3 to 4 and so on to infinity and i can take the room number 1. That way all the tourists, including me, would have a room."
EXTENSION OF THE PROBLEM
What would you do if two infinite groups of tourist´s arrives? How would you place them in the Hilbert hotel?
(hint: pair numbers are also infinite)
Significance of the problem
This particular problem is very interesting to me because it forces me to think out of the box something not only amusing but necessary to sort out day to day events.
The answer is the Weapon Focus Effect.
The weapon focus effect is the tendency for witnesses who observe an armed criminal to direct their attention toward the weapon so that they fail to encode and remember information about the perpetrator’s physical appearance as accurately as they would have if no weapon had been visible. This effect can have important consequences for the investigation of a crime, as the police often rely on witnesses’ descriptions of a perpetrator as they attempt to identify a suspect.

Answer:
Uterus.
Explanation:
A baby starts hearing the sounds of the mother's body at around 18 weeks during pregnancy. At around 26 weeks the baby can listen to sounds outside the womb. At this stage, the baby is able to distinguish between the mother's voice and other sounds. This takes place in the uterus.
Hence, babies can identify the voice of their mother immediately after they are born.
