Lol, its funny how she has a page with a math theorem for folding paper, the 'Paper folding theorem'. Lol
Compared to the usual mathematicians like euler who have a whole page of funny symbols, its refreshing to see such an almost pointless formula.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Catch_rate
Thats not pointless, I use it all the time to determine if I can catch a pokemon. What I did was let Hp current = x, I then differentiated the equation to find the value of x in which the gradient was 0 to find the max value of a. But im wondering now, if I integrate the equation, does that give me the area size of the pokeball used? Coz I needa know if it will fit in my pocket.
Whats the formula for master ball catch rate?
P(catch successful) =

Alright then, I guess it is quite important after all :)

Embassy of Israel
Washington, D.C.
November 17, 1952
Dear Professor Einstein:
The bearer of this letter is Mr. David Goitein of Jerusalem who is now serving as Minister at our Embassy in Washington. He is bringing you the question which Prime Minister Ben Gurion asked me to convey to you, namely, whether you would accept the Presidency of Israel if it were offered you by a vote of the Knesset. Acceptance would entail moving to Israel and taking its citizenship. The Prime Minister assures me that in such circumstances complete facility and freedom to pursue your great scientific work would be afforded by a government and people who are fully conscious of the supreme significance of your labors.
Mr. Goitein will be able to give you any information that you may desire on the implications of the Prime Minister's question.
Whatever your inclination or decision may be, I should be deeply grateful for an opportunity to speak with you again within the next day or two at any place convenient for you. I understand the anxieties and doubts which you expressed to me this evening. On the other hand, whatever your answer, I am anxious for you to feel that the Prime Minister's question embodies the deepest respect which the Jewish people can repose in any of its sons. To this element of personal regard, we add the sentiment that Israel is a small State in its physical dimensions, but can rise to the level of greatness in the measure that it exemplifies the most elevated spiritual and intellectual traditions which the Jewish people has established through its best minds and hearts both in antiquity and in modern times. Our first President, as you know, taught us to see our destiny in these great perspectives, as you yourself have often exhorted us to do.
Therefore, whatever your response to this question, I hope that you will think generously of those who have asked it, and will commend the high purposes and motives which prompted them to think of you at this solemn hour in our people's history.
With cordial wishes,
Abba Eban
Professor Albert Einstein
Princeton, N.J.

I only got up to 6 times and then failed!!!
How the heck did that guy fold the paper 12 times (This function was given by Britney Gallivan in 2001 (then only a high school student) who managed to fold a sheet of paper in half 12 times, contrary to the popular belief that paper of any size could be folded at most eight times)
Also this is the most useful formula ever:
I wish I knew this back when I played pokemon on my good old gameboy (from 2001 - 2004)! But then again my school marks dropped right down after I had my first try of pokemon Blue.

People spend about two weeks of their lives at traffic lights! <<<<is it just me or does that sound AVERAGE? Or too much?

Also I heard that scientists believe that most advanced (e.g. tigers, humans, birds, etc) organisms had evolved from worms. The theory is quite plausible. The worm is technically a tube where it ingests food from its mouth and the contents are expelled through its anus, if you look at our digestive system it technically is a more advanced tubular system, but, if you look at the big picture both are essentially the same.
With its regenerative abilities I read somewhere that researchers managed to turn 1 worm into 40 by just cutting it in half allowing it to grow and then repeating the process

-
nah cause but they are my ancestors

so you only have little wings?

how does it sound true!?
unless ur jking about that too haha

They dont grow much, 3 times their initial weight. Humans are something like 4-5kg to 80 +
Which is weird considering how much they eat.....

hair grows roughly 1nm per second. Learn't this when our engineering professor was talking about nanotechnology and trying to explain what a nanometer is.
