I still remember her response to the question "Are men meant to be faithful?"
Her answer: Probably not, but that doesn't mean they can't try harder.

I actually attended a lecture by her years ago, and she was very interesting. She gave simple tips to maintain your mental agility, like doing your own math without a calculator. I still follow much of her advice.

She's still writng her column, so the OP should be in the present tense and not the past tense.

I watched a few videos of her when I researched the Monty Hall Problem. Seemed cool.

Have her answers always seemed to be “by definition!” (“Golly”, was implied.).
Marilyn, Why is the ocean always near the shore?
I’m not sure I believe her solution to the Monty Hall problem.

If she said that at a Trump rally, she'd be right.
