Cool Stuff

Magic maths:

Infinity + 1 = Infinity cause that's the highest number ever!
Subtract Infinity from both side and you get:
0 = 1
Therefore 1 = 2, 2 = 3, 3 = 4 and so on. Weird?
.999...= 1
Let .9999...= x
Multiply both sides by 10:
9.9999... = 10x
Subtract x from both sides:
9 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9:
1 = x = .9999...
Therefore, zero point nine repeating is one! There's no trick there, it's just the way it is!
There's also some other really cool stuff in the recreational math section of Khan Academy- be sure to check it out.

Top 20

Most of them are contradictory and ironical. That reminds me of a joke:
On a wall in Delhi these words were spray painted by some gang in the colony.
3 things I hate:
1. Vandalism
2. Irony
3. Lists

This is an interesting list of interesting and ironic facts:
  • More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.
  • If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?
  • The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
  • Nutella uses 25% of the world's hazelnut supply.


  • 25 million of your cells died while you were reading this sentence.
  • Daniel Radcliffe broke 80 wands in the filming of the Harry Potter series as he often used them as drumsticks.
  • If Americans recycled even 10% of their paper annually, they could save 25,000,000 trees each year.
  • In 2008, a beach was stolen in Jamaica. The 500 truckloads of sand are missing till date.





I hope you find this interesting. Some of the things are truly amazing.
Smiti.
