Focus Description:

The magician gives the viewer a pack of 18 cards and asks him to do the following operations above them under the table so that no one can see: turn over the top pair of cards (i.e.: the top two cards taken together) and "remove" the pack, turn it over again top pair of cards and remove again.

So the viewer can continue as long as he pleases. It is clear that as a result of these actions, the cards move in a completely unforeseen way, and neither the number nor the position of the open cards in the deck can be known to the demonstrator.

Then the artist, sitting on the opposite side of the table from the viewer, stretches out his hand under the table and takes the pack. Leaving his hands under the table (so that no one, including the magician himself, can see his actions on the cards), he announces that he will now take out the pack and it will contain so many open cards. He says a number. The cards are taken out from under the table and laid out. The number given is correct.

Focus secret:

Focus is completely automatic. In order for him to come out, you only need to hide the cards under the table and walk over them, turning over every second card. After that, it is announced that there are nine open cards in the pack (that is, a number equal to half the number of cards taken).

A trick will always work out if you take any even number of cards for it.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Chimpanzee as the pinnacle of evolution 20.09.2007

It's time to stop thinking that man is the pinnacle of evolution. In fact, chimpanzees are a more "advanced" species.

A group of geneticists from the University of Michigan (USA) studied the DNA sequences in 13 human, chimpanzee and rhesus macaque genes. It turned out that 888 chimpanzee genes have been changed by natural selection since humans and chimpanzees split from a common ancestor about 233 million years ago. Of the human genes, only 6 have changed since then.

So the evolution of chimpanzees went further than ours. Doesn't this mean that monkeys will become smarter than humans after a while?
