I learned that pigeons don`t bob their heads.


Wow! I am subscribing to that channel so my 6 year old can watch it, so good ( or bad) on so many levels.

Its a great channel, but remember the disclaimer in the start of the clip? "Not suitable for children"! 😀 I would have loved it as a child!

Yeah I read the disclaimer and went " yeah I'm in!" 😁 its better than another one presented as "fact based" she watches that actually isn't!

This still amazes me. But from I have learnt only one crow/raven (Corvus corax, thank you Google) has ever done this in 18 years - so yes spectacular but maybe limited to a freak Corvus Corax Savant.

I learned there is something called rolesium - an alloy between steel and platinum used by Rolex (or was used) and will come with a Geneva key hallmark meaning precious metals. So Rolex can just create a precious alloy and name it after themselves and have their country create a hallmark for it. Now that's real power. Come on Omega, after this, Sedna gold just doesn't cut it.

When you are looking for something you've misplaced. It's always in the last place you look.

Yep...I don’t keep looking after I’ve found it...

True, but this leads to the Blubarb Paradox: If you know it's the last place you would look then that would be the first place you would look meaning it wont be there but in the last place you would look and so on so forth onto infinity.

If the last place you would look is the first place you look then you will never find it no matter how many iterations of the process you work thru.

If you ever hope to find it you must look in the most likely places it would be first until all these possibilities are exhausted and only then will you find it. And of course that will be the last place.

Where are the mathematicians of the forum to write this algebraically? Where should I look for them first! Or last?

I think it's a philosophical paradox, not unlike Zeno's closing door paradox.
