Quoted from the source: ``From a very young age, shoes for boys tend to be wider than shoes for girls. Is this because boys have wider feet, or because it is assumed that
girls, even in elementary school, are willing to sacrifice comfort for fashion?
To assess the former, a statistician measures kids' feet.''
