Mind-Melter of the Day

It turns out that if you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three-digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order.

Except for 998.

What’s that? Solving a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube via robot isn’t impressive enough for you?

Well then let’s solve a 7x7 cube with only a LEGO robot and a smartphone. How’s that Mr. Fancypants? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?

Scientists Test Sonic Levitation

Researchers at the Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi’an, China have successfully developed a device that uses sound waves to levitate small objects and animals. The device consists of two main sections, the sound wave emitter and reflector. Many other animals were tested as well, including ladybugs, spiders and tadpoles. The device has also been tested on levitating Mercury and Iridium - the heaviest known solid and liquid, respectively. Unfortunately, the fish that was tested perished during the experiment - but all of the other tested organisms survived. Currently, the scientists are working on a way to ensure the hatching of eggs during levitation.

For just a day, I want to live in Vihart’s brain. It would be glorious.
