Summary

Description
English: This represents an attempt to "derive" Shannon's entropy by taking an information space with 12 elements, and subtracting the entropy associated by not revealing the integer (1-12) associated with Crow or Rat. The "derivation" succeeds only if the Shannon entropy formula is used to properly weight the concealed information associated by Crow higher than the smaller amount of information concealed by Rat. In other words, the "proof" uses circular logic (no pun intended.)
