Don't hesitate to check out this person's channel. It shows you why loads of C&H's members think maths is awesome, even if what they're teaching you in schools isn't interesting at all.

I think this is pretty cool (although it seems he has a bit of a problem working the maths for this out).

Going through a '2010 in Photos' thread on another forum reintroduced me to this photo taken in Guatemala.

Mental.

Was doing that, and there was some nuclear accident in 1993, and I wiki'd it.

Anyway, as always, that ended up with Wikiing 2000 things and I found the Banana Equivalent Dose measurement of radiation exposure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose

Yup, bananas are radioactive. News to me.

Much smaller incident, but wow the guy in this car was lucky. Sinkhole in China just opened up right under his car as he was driving, luckily it got wedged in such a way that he managed to get out.

Looks way better than the sludge that's usually there.

Wow.

It's interesting as well that recently astronomers revised their estimates, and said there are three times as many stars as previously thought in the universe. So the universe is even more inconceivably massive than was thought. I think that's pretty cool.

These pictures have been around for a while, and many of you may have seen them before, but I just really LOVE the concept.

Here's what they're about:

Texas based photographer, Tom Hussey reflects on his recent collaboration with the pharmaceutical company, Novartis for their ”Reflections” campaign.

”Based on an earlier portfolio image, I was awarded a job for an Alzheimer’s drug called the Exelon Patch made by Novartis. The Exelon Patch helps patients maintain long-term memories during the early stages of this horrific disease. I was fortunate to be included in a lot of the early concept stages for the campaign. I knew immediately location scouting and casting were going to be very important to evoke the emotions associated with the disease. The campaign has been extremely successful for the promotion of the brand and people universally respond to the images. After we shot the campaign, the images went into testing and legal review. They were so well received that the images, all 10 of them, were printed full page in the brochures and other collateral.” -Tom Hussey

Tom Hussey’s compelling photography has recently been featured in Communication Arts 2010 Photography Annual.

and my favourite of the lot...

EDIT: Messed it up the first time, so here's the link once again...

The first minute and thirteen seconds of this video is possibly the greatest thing I've seen on YouTube. And it goes on.

The number 6174 is really interesting, do this:

Take any four-digit number, using at least two different digits. (Leading zeros are allowed.)
Arrange the digits in ascending and then in descending order to get two four-digit numbers, adding leading zeros if necessary.
Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
Go back to step 2.

The above process will always reach 6174 in at most 7 iterations.

Can you construct a room with mirrors for walls, put a candle in the room, and have one part of the room unilluminated? Yes, yes you can.
