How to determine the 12th digit of a UPC symbol. 3. The guy who INVENTED Modern Algebra (Galois) died at age 21. 4. When counting cards in Blackjack, tens and face cards are -1, 3-6's are +1. 5. The earth is the only place in the solar system where you can stand naked and still survive. 6. The clitoris was first (officially) discovered in 1559 by Dr. Reginald Columbus in Padua, Italy. 7. At the age of nine, Gauss derived the formula for the sum of the first n integers. 8. If you're ever playing Let's Make a Deal, always switch doors. 9. My advisor's research is on the topology of soap bubbles. 10. The numbers 220 and 284 are "friendly numbers". |
