Making penalty shoot-outs fairer; a teenager鈥檚 murder sparks protests in India and why do polygamists choose multiple marriages?

UEFA, European football's governing body, is currently trialling a new system for penalty shoot-outs that is based on mathematical research. Currently 60% of penalty shoot-outs are won by the team going first, so can this unfairness be overcome?
