GeraldWeinberg invented the law and described it in his book The Secrets of Consulting (1986), in which he explains the origin of its name.
Weinberg reported that, while riding a bus in New York City, he observed a mother with eight small children embark.
She asked the driver the amount of the fare; he told her that the cost was thirty-five cents, but that children under the age of five could ride for free.
