Focus Description:

The trick is performed with a deck of 32 cards. We ask one of the spectators to choose four cards and put them face down on the table separately from each other. We give the value of 11 to the ace, 10 to the figure, etc. We ask the viewer to put so many cards above each of the four cards that their total number in the stack is 15. At the same time, the cost of each laid card is taken as 1, we take the real value only for the lower cards .

After that, you leave. When all the stacks are ready, you go to the table and count how many cards are left in the deck. To this number you add 32. The sum will be the total value of the four bottom cards.

Focus secret:

How to count the remaining cards in the deck? You can go to the table and with the words: "You see that I do not see a single card" - throw them on the table. At the same time, the cards will disintegrate and you, putting them in order, can count them without arousing anyone's suspicions.

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 ... >>

Automatic transcription of video conferences 12.10.2022

Google has offered users of the video conferencing service Meet the function of automatically transcribing video sessions. Initially, the service was positioned as a corporate one, and the new feature may be in demand by any users who would not like to miss something important.

Until now, the ability to translate speech to text had to be implemented using various third-party services, but now it is an integral part of Meet. So far, the decryption works only in English, and in 2023 the developer promised to implement support for French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. Microsoft Teams, one of Meet's competitors, introduced call transcription last year, and it's somewhat surprising that it took Google so long to implement the feature.

On the other hand, the function is now extremely simple - at the end of the video conference, the transcript of the communication session appears on the Google Docs platform. In the future, the company promised to further expand the capabilities of Meet and offer users analytical reports, but the company has not yet indicated the timing of the implementation of new features.

Google also announced that the Meet service now supports Huddly and Logitech cameras equipped with artificial intelligence systems - we are talking about adaptive framing, which allows you to constantly keep the interlocutor in the frame.
