Mathmagical!
Just a list of cool little mathematical tricks and other cool things I wanted to make.
Every number divisible by three (to give whole numbers) has a digit sum that is a multiple of 3. Eg. 186/3=62 (1+8+6=15, 15/3=5 and 1+5=6, 6/3=2) For dividing by four the last two digits have to either by 00 or equal something divisible by four itself. Eg. 400 or 35644/4=8911 (44/4=11) Dividing by six is the...

You don't seem very active at the moment tumblr...
Is it because you people still have finals and such? If so reading my blog is pretty much the same as studying!

“Or you can set up a blog. People can be snotty about blogs but really, 1,000...”
– A Science-ish Q&A: Dr. Ben Goldacre (via scipsy)
My new course of study.
As some of my followers may know I’ve been technically studying towards my genetics major. Although the only reason I picked genetics is because I didn’t know what else to pick. Anyways, next year I’ve put down my major as chemistry and am doing a lot of physics papers (perhaps I’ll double major who knows). Yay!

The vast majority of humans. It only recently occurred to me that all these ‘grown ups’ with all their authority are only slightly older versions of me. The only thing they have that I am lacking in is life experience, which is not always an advantage.
It angers me that there are so many people who choose to ignore science, whether for religious reasons or because ‘science is...

Also this isn’t a comprehensive list and it doesn’t go too...

Recommend me books?
I’m off to the library and need some books to read. My favorite author is Terry Pratchett if that helps, but I’ll read just about anything (I tend to avoid murder mysteries though unless they’re funny) so long as it’s entertaining. Bonus points if it has a theme. Go!
