Researchers have found that statistically, there is a direct positive relationship between students' shoe sizes and their results on spelling tests and spelling bees. (That is, students with larger shoe sizes tend to do better.)

Can you explain this correlation?

I know, i know. The bigger feet give them a bigger surface to write crib notes on, right?

Duh! How about, bigger feet equals older age (in general--this was a statistical study, after all).
