Go figure

Example 1:Ironically, when asked about improvement, both parties indicated
that they thought communication should be more intense. Go figure!

Example 2: The prepositions are strangely the last thing almost all the children learn in a language. Go figure!

Example 3: Women and children are the first targets of war. Go figure.

Example 4: Go figure: Weight loss is one of the worst reasons for exercise.

Now, if your definitions of "go figure" run along the lines of "wow, isn't that right?" or "who'd have thought?" or "how come", they're all correct.

Think of "go figure" as short for "go and figure it out for yourself". It is used more like an exclamation, though, punctuating an unexpected fact. Oh yeah, that's right.
