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.

Answer:
nature-nurture question
Explanation:
The physical characteristics of an organism are passed on to its descendants through the mechanism elucidated by Mendel, still in the nineteenth century. But what about behavior? Is behavior, especially human behavior, also subject to these mechanisms? Anyway, would our personality be the result of nature (written in DNA) or of our creation (tradition and learning)? This explains the "nature-nurture question".
If a baby were handed over for adoption by an English-speaking family and adopted by a Spanish-speaking family, you would expect the baby to learn to speak Spanish. If so, it would offer insight into the question of creating nature about what leads to an individual's behavior. In this case, we realize that in the nature x creation discussion there are no winners, for we have found that nature acts through creation.
