Fun Facts About Math

Here are some interesting facts from The Calculator Site about mathematics and numbers to put you in the mood to solve this puzzle:

• Shuffle a deck of cards really thoroughly, and there is a greater chance than not that the exact sequence in the deck has never been seen before in all of recorded history. Wow!

• Want an easy way to memorize Pi to seven decimal places (3.1415926)? Just remember the phrase, "May I have a large container of coffee?" and count the letters in each word.

• Prime numbers help Cicadas survive. Cicadas, a type of insect, incubate underground for long periods of time before coming out to mate. Sometimes they spend 13 years underground, at other times 17. Why?

  Both those intervals are prime numbers. Biologists now believe cicadas adopted those life-cycles to minimize their contact with predators who have more round-numbered life-cycles.

• If you enter Pi to two decimal places (3.14) in your calculator and look at it in the mirror, you'll see it spells "pie".

• In a crowded room, at least two people likely share a birthday. It only takes 23 people for an even chance (50/50) that two of them have the same birthday. With 75 people in the room, the chances rise to 99 percent!
