We could reach the moon using paper....    Guess How ????

      Hypothetically we can reach the moon by simply folding a paper 42 times. Well if you thinking about that how is that possible then here's the explanation.

     The distance of the moon from earth is about 384000 km or  3.84 x 1012   pages away. and the thickness of a paper is approximately 0.01cm. When we fold paper 2 times it is 2 pages thick but when we fold it the 3rd time it is not 3 pages thick it's 4 pages thick. now the power of exponential works.By the time we get to 9 foldings,  our folded paper is bigger than 500 sheets of paper. By the time we get to 20 foldings, our folded paper is more than 10 kilometers high, so it means  that 42 foldings is all it takes to reach the moon from earth.Isn't it interesting?

       The whole game is the power of an exponential, that it lets you turn small things into huge things by simply compounding what you have over and over again.And surprisingly it takes only about 94 foldings of a paper to make something the size of the entire visible Universe! 

     So thing about it !!! Afterall 94 is not a very big number.....

Value of a Rubik's cube.....

Did you know your Rubik's Cube?

      The Most Expensive Cube is constructed with 18-karat gold, encrusted with 22.5 karat of amethyst, 34 karats of rubies, 34 karats of emeralds.the Masterpiece Cube is currently valued at $2.5 million USD, making it the world’s most expensive puzzle.
     Rubik's Cube is a 3-D combinational puzzle invented in 1974 by hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik. It is originally called Magic Cube.

    Rubik's Cube mastermind Mats Valk set a new world record  at the Jawa Timur Open in Indonesia.

        Valk, 20, managed to break the existing record of 4.90 seconds, set last year by 14-year-old Lucas Etter, with a blistering time of 4.74 seconds.Valk spent more time examining the cube than he spent actually moving things around.
