Nobel Prize physicist Richard Feynman describes how, as a young boy, he figured

out how to fix a radio that buzzed for a few minutes after first being turned on. "I realized that one way it can happen is that the tubes are heating up in the wrong order. Then I said to myself, 'All right, take the tubes out, and reverse the order completely in the set.' So I changed the tubes around, stepped to the front of the radio, turned the thing on, and it's quiet as a lamb: it waits until it heats up, and then plays perfectly -- no noise."
