If he's paying for sleeper trains, that's a supplement on top of the Bahncard 100.

From what I can see it just says he sleeps on the 'night trains' which are any trains that operate overnight. If you restricted yourself to sleepers, there is quite a broad network across Germany, but still not comprehensive ( htt

It's a shame they don't list ö, ä and ü (or ß) in their alphabet (although to be fair they are listed in the full list of glyphs) - those are pretty fundamental to . I kinda like how they're done in the sign for Möckernbrücke

I think I respectfully disagree almost entirely. Maths requires a huge amount of creative effort and there often is no logical next step. There was a reason that it took three hundred years to go from an idea that a^x + b^x = c^x has no int

According to the popular conciousness, the Roman Empire lasted from 27 BCE to 476 CE in the west (i.e. 503 years), and from 27 BCE to 1453 CE including Byzantium (i.e. 1480 years). But that's a really bad way to think about it. A Rom

It’s surprisingly common. A more extreme version is what I call the Stonehenge cycle: - humanity names something, e.g. Stonehenge, - humanity finds other, somewhat similar things, and names them similarly, e.g. Woodhenge, Seahenge, - people
