In some binary systems, the less-massive star has become a giant, while the more-massive star is still on the main sequence. If higher-mass stars evolve faster than lower-mass stars, how do the lower-mass stars in such binaries manage to leave the main sequence first? This is called the Algol paradox, after the binary system Algol.

In many binary stars, there can be a flow of material between the two stars, disturbing the normal process of stellar evolution. As the flow progresses, the evolutionary stage of the stars will advance, even as the relative masses change. Eventually, the originally more massive star will reach the next stage in its evolution despite having lost much of its mass to its companion.

How do you answer the question explain giffens paradox on pajama Sam 2?
Giffen's paradox is an economic concept related to the demand for goods. In Pajama Sam 2, the paradox could be illustrated by a scenario where the more expensive pajamas Sam wears, the more they are desired, even though cheaper options are available. This goes against the law of demand, where price and quantity demanded have an inverse relationship.
