100 Essential things you didn’t know you didn’t know, part I

Hi all

I am currently on a camping trip and I have started reading the book called 100 essential things you didn’t know you didn’t know. Find it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/100-Essential-Things-Didnt-Know/dp/1847920039

Basically it goes through 100 things/phenomenons/mathhematical puzzles and explains them.

I have read the first four now, which deals with:

Why pylons are made up of triangles
Why it is easier to walk on a tightrope with a pole in hands – sometimes even with buckets of sand at the ends
The fat that the saying that given enough time, an army of monkeys will write the entire collection of Shakespeare’s
How you can determine how many more error are in a book, given the number of error that are already found

All in all an interesting read until now, and also quite easy to go to – each subject takes up only 2 or 3 pages.

Go buy! Smile
