Focus Description:

Ask the audience if they can place seven matches on six cards so that each card has only one match?

“Seven matches for six cards, and one on each ... No, we won’t be able to,” they will give up.

Get down to business, I'll help you. On the first card we put the first match, and for a while also the seventh.

They put two matches on the map, wondering what would happen next.

- Have you put down two matches? Fine. Place the third match on the second card. The fourth match - on the third card, etc.

And when they put the sixth match on the fifth card, they saw with amazement that there was still a sixth free card.

- We will put that seventh match on it, which temporarily lay on the first card, - tell the audience and, taking an extra match from the first card, put it on the sixth card. Seven matches lay on six cards, one on each. Quickly collect matches, not wanting to explain what's the matter.

Focus secret:

With seven matches on six cards, everything is very simple: the audience put the first and seventh matches on the first card; then on the second card the third match, then the fourth match, etc. And where is the second match? She was not put down at all. This is the whole secret.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

Profession choice - by genes 06.04.2010

In one of the schools in Sichuan Province (PRC), genetic testing of children for early career guidance has been introduced.

By swiping a cotton swab along the inner surface of the cheek, the student receives epithelial cells of the oral cavity, on which 11 different genes are analyzed. Among them, for example, genes associated with aggressiveness, enterprise, emotional instability, curiosity for everything new. By the presence and degree of expression of such genes, they try to recommend a future profession to the child.

True, serious geneticists believe that such a test says little and may even be harmful to the fate of the child.
