two heads are better than one

I don’t know who came up with that now-clichéd saying, but they got it right. Certain things are accomplished (subconsciously) when in groups of two or more, yet for some reason we feel embarrassed to have a go at them alone. Maybe I’m being paranoid, or perhaps self-conscious to think this way, but hear me out.

I first experienced this ‘paranoia’ at the gym, since more often than not, no thanks to my lazy friends, I exercise alone. I noticed the first time you use any non-straightforward equipment is a tricky task. There is a time limit associated with your learning ability - let that drain and you must abandon the mission.
