First Article-The Hair Part Theory: It seems counterintuitive that a hair part can determine what skills a person might possess and tell them how they act. Parted to left, the hair gives a sense of logic, and activities contributing to skills relating to masculinity. Parted to the right, the hair now gives a sense of artistic, visual, music skills that contribute to the tasks that relate to femininity in our culture. The wrong hair part can play against type. The Hair Part Theory started in John Walter’s childhood. He didn’t like what his mirror was showing and thus created the “true mirror.”
Second Article-Do Multivitamins really work?: It seems counterintuitive that a person can take multivitamins and they don’t help at all. The illnesses that multivitamins claim they ward off do not actually ward off. The illnesses or diseases are still present and the vitamins do not protect against them. Even more then that, it is possible if you take too many vitamins it can lead to certain forms of cancer. After finding that out, a bill was passed to put warnings on vitamins bottles now if they can potentially cause health risks.
Third Article-Pizza Hut at the pyramids: It seems counterintuitive that a Pizza Hut would be placed near the pyramids. A Pizza Hut was placed next to the Sphinx and pyramids in Egypt. This makes no sense because it is a historical landmark. There should be nothing near the pyramids or the Sphinx at all. At other historical landmarks food places are not even present. Places like the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls. Mount Everest does not have a Pizza Hut near it. It destroys the value of the landmark and seems insulting even. It shows that the people in the country might not value the amazing sight and maybe do not care about it.

Counterintuitive Spring 2024 
Nice work, EaglesFan: succinct and clearly phrased.
For the most part. 🙂
Article 1.
—This doesn’t say quite what you mean, I think.
—The hair part doesn’t determine skills. Even the Theory doesn’t say that. The theory says the hair part sends a message to others about your skills or inclinations. If it determines anything, it determines how others view us.
Article 2.
—We all do things that don’t work. Maybe sunscreen is a scam, for all I know. Maybe drinking three gallons of water a day is hocus-pocus.
—What’s counterintuitive is that such a big industry could develop around a product of questionable benefits for decades without serious challenge.
—You could really nail down the oddity of this case by observing that the labels will warn against dangers but will say nothing about the overall uselessness of the product for most customers.
Article 3.
—Maybe it does. (It certainly stunned me when I saw it and made a home movie about it 20 years ago! 🙂 )
—But you shouldn’t take for granted that the observation that the two things are in proximity will seem counterintuitive to your reader on its face. Your job is to make the counterintuitivity clear.
—You backfill the explanation, but that’s a little late to get “buy-in” from your reader, who might bail after the first sentence if you let her.
—Don’t let her.
—I like your examples. 🙂
Again, nice work overall. I offer critiques because I can’t help myself. I hope they help you.
