The problem with lists of major accidents is they aren't necessarily a predictor of future accidents, and in some cases may be the reverse. An airline suffering a major accident is likely to lead to a significant safety overhaul. What&

This is excellent. However, some may feel a large portion on fearing math in school is out of scope (for them). If that's you, after the first few paragraphs of "Our Weird Relationship With Math" skip to "Going Back To T

Great explanation of the significance of this. I suspect others, like me, are watching Asahi's progress as a potential exit from - or compliment to - macOS, whilst still being able to use the excellent hardware natively. As such, some

Not an economist, but in crypto, "coin burns" are a regular occurrence where a percentage of supply is destroyed, typically by sending to a public address for which the corresponding private key is proven unknown. The result is in

Yes, the article is great (now I've read it). 37*3 also ends in 3 but is not divisible by 3. Thus, were the range not capped at 30 it may have been illegitimately discarded by the criteria. I think the 3 combined with the 5 digits and

Yes, as stated: it ends in 3, so the cube root must be a multiple of 3. The "cube root" part contains the implicit information that we have a product ending in 3, of three identical factors. I guess the missing assumption is tha
