[edit] Glove problem

The glove problem is different as stated on mathworld (which links to it from http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CondomProblem.html as well) but it may be a bad staement, as it appears ok for corss contamination between doctors or cross contamination between patients to occur. Gloves of course are also handed, which gives rise to a whole other class of problems (pertaining to the handedness or ambdexterity of the examiners). The answer on mathworld also disagrees with the article. Rich Farmbrough 21:18, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You mention reversible condoms in the article. Are there any at all? As far as I know they all have a very strict "inside" and "outside" (as also mentioned by condom). That also makes sense, because the outside is perfumed or flavored, and the inside is usually coated with some type of spermicide (at least, it is very unlikely to be flavored). On the other hand, latex gloves are reversible, and a left-handed glove may be turned inside-out to make it right-handed. That means that the condom problem will have a higher solution than the glove problem, because the number of sides available to a condom is less than that with a glove. -- Brhaspati (talk, contribs) 11:20, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)
For that matter, how practical is it for one person to wear more than a couple condoms? -- Anonymous

This problem is quite far fetched... It looks like it were invented to try to get some attention of sex crazed engineering students or something... No really it's quite stupid. And surely it isn't safe sex.

This has got to be some kind of joke, surely! LOL -stray
