What if numbers could snitch?
In this episode of A Dash of Info, we explore Benford’s Law—a strange mathematical rule where smaller digits appear far more often than larger ones. From worn-out log tables in the 1800s to modern fraud detection, elections, scientific research, and even pandemic data, this “numerical fingerprint” shows up everywhere.
We’ll break down how Benford’s Law works, where it comes from, how it’s used to spot deception, and why it feels almost spooky when it reveals hidden patterns in plain sight. It’s part math, part mystery, and proof that numbers have stories to tell—if you know how to listen.
