Better - Schroedinger's Fridge.
A student lives in a shared house. It's Friday night. He put a six-pack of beer
in the fridge on Wednesday. Is it still in there? Does it still exist while the
fridge remains cold. He can't know whether there is any left or not. A can, 3,
4 or the whole pack. Unlikely, given the nature of his housemates...but...
He opens the fidge and the waveform of the beer collapses.
