One of the most addicting games in recent times has been 2048. The game starts out with a grid of tiles that you can slide in any direction to combine them. You must keep adding tiles until you reach the 2048th tile. But is it possible to get to the 2048th tile? The game uses an algorithm that will never let you move more than 16x16 tiles without either running out of moves or having the position exceed the upper limit of 32768, which can't be represented in a signed 16-bit integer. But there are some strategies you can use to make your way up to...

Our brains are wired to make quick, simple judgements without any conscious effort. This means that we will always seek out the simplest explanation for every situation. For example, imagine you see a person wearing an eyepatch. You might automatically believe they’ve lost their eye-sight in one eye. But what if the person is just wearing an eyepatch as part of their costume? It’s hard to think about the different explanations for someone's appearance when your brain wants to jump to conclusions first. That said, our brains also have trouble with...

These days, it seems like everything is getting a chocolate flavor. From Oreos to yogurt, nearly every food is getting dipped in some cocoa powder. But what about eggs? Chickens lay eggs with brown shells, which are usually white or light brown. Can chickens lay eggs with chocolate flavor? Unfortunately not! Eggs come from chicken ovaries and are created by the hen's body, so they can't have chocolate flavor. The color of an egg depends on the pigmentation of the hen's skin, which is created by its diet. So if you want to make chocolate-flavored eggs,...

We use oil in so many different ways. From petrol to fuel for cars, it's all around us. But what if we run out? It's a thought that has crossed everyone's mind at some point. The Mckinsey Global Institute suggests that by 2040, 97% of the world’s energy needs will be met by fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil). So how much oil is left on Earth? And how much do we consume? This article will explore these questions and more! The problem with oil Oil on its own is not the problem. The problem with oil is that it's finite. It's only a matter of time before...

First, there are already animals in the world that once breathed fire. In addition to human circus performances, there is also a domestic cow in the Netherlands. Because of flatulence, the owner called a veterinarian. The veterinarian wanted to use a lighter to observe the tongue coating of the cow at night, but the gas exhaled by the cow was actually ignited. Fever burnt. It turns out that the grass eaten by cows is decomposed by microorganisms in the stomach, producing methane gas, which is as flammable as hydrogen. But this fire-breathing is...

The planet is full of non-cancerous creatures. "Right whales and naked mole rats do not appear to have cancer in nature, nor are they easy to induce cancerous cells in the laboratory" and so on, and "the use of various physical, chemical Cancer-causing factors” can induce cancer after all, and cancer-bearing individuals of naked mole rats in zoos have long been recorded [1] . But how do you think E. coli in your stomach can get cancer ? Single-celled organisms cannot "get cancer." When you disrupt their normal functioning with various carcinogens,...

Silicon-based bio- dependent environments go in two directions: extremely hot, and extremely cold. The rest of the conditions are nothing special: organisms can withstand a substantially cataclysmic, noxious environment, as long as there is an energy gradient rather than a mere high energy. High temperature based silicon-based bio In 1891, German chemist Julius Scheiner described the possibility of silicon-based life. In 1893, British chemist James Emerson Reynolds mentioned in his opening speech to the British Association for the Advancement of...

Es gibt einige auffällige Unterschiede zwischen britischen und amerikanischen Tastaturen. Der offensichtlichste ist, dass die britische Tastatur eine zusätzliche Taste hat, die für das Pfundsymbol (£) verwendet wird. Aber wussten Sie, dass es auch noch einige andere Unterschiede im Tastaturlayout gibt? Einer der Hauptgründe für die unterschiedlichen Tastaturlayouts ist, dass die beiden Länder unterschiedliche Arten von Tastaturen haben. Die britische Tastatur hat ein QWERTY-Layout, während die amerikanische Tastatur ein Dvorak-Layout hat. Das...
