Q.   Akela arrives in a small town and decides he wants to get a haircut. According to the
manager of the hotel where he's staying, there are only two barbershops in town — one on
East Street and one on West Street. Akela goes to check out both shops. The West Street
barbershop is a mess, and the barber has the worst haircut the traveler has ever seen. The
East Street barbershop is neat and clean; its barber's hair looks as good as a movie star's.
Which barbershop does Akela go to for his haircut, and why?
