Answer to Question 1

The first reason we do not see logrolling in general elections is because of high transactions costs. With large numbers of voters in a general election the transactions costs to matching up voters in a political marketplace are quite high. The second reason and more important reason we do not see logrolling in general elections is because of the secret ballot. The secret ballot makes it impossible to confirm that a deal made in the political marketplace was actually carried out. Even if transactions costs were low, few traders would want to engage in a political exchange if they could not ensure that their trading partner lived up to her side of the bargain.

Answer to Question 2

False. The shape of the long-run supply curve will depend on how similar the firms are and on the relationship between factor prices and total industry output.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
