I've spilled two jars on opening this month... We've had bagged milk for ages here, I've never thought of it as "mind boggling", it came before milk cartons. I remember the thing about kangaroos, seen it written at Healesville Sanctuary on a... kangaroo The picture is kinda small & crappy, but what's written there is "Coat of arms: kangaroos can't walk backwards and represent a country moving forward." And to add one too: sweet physics

2015 = 13*5*31
2015: ... in base 2: 11111011111 ... in base 4: 113113 ... in base 8: 3737 ... in base 12: 11bb
Suppose you have a regular n-gon (3-gon = triangle, 4-gon = square, 5-gon = pentagon, 6-gon = hexagon... and so on) inscribed in a unit circle (all vertices on a circle whose radius length is 1). Connect one vertex to each of the others and multiply the lengths of each of these line segments. Then the product is n.

You are one up (or maybe a lot more) on me with this.

^^^ Ana, I will let you define the theory, I will just exorcise it.

Useless fact of the day: If you hover over a user's name here, a brief info line opens about that user down in the info bar at the bottom of you screen. After the last forward slash is a number, and that number is the number that member is here. So, mine ends with /1 because I was the first member here.
