Do gloves left on a campus radiator overnight still belong to their owner once they have dried?
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement codes 1,642 leftover glove-pairs at sixteen campus radiators into four named cells of a moisture-by-claimant quadrant and finds that dryness, not absence, is what flips a passer-by's claim. The Indicator Commons now bags every Cured pair at the 09:00 steward walk into a Drying Commons draw and allocates next winter's radiator-upgrade funds from each building's Cured share.
