Well like I said on the previous page, that Mythbusters need to visit this page.

They've already proved that you can fold a piece of paper more than 7 times. There are also techniques to fold paper 7 times or paper that are thin enough to be folded 7 times.

Alot of these fun facts are not real facts, so people shouldn't take them seriously.

1. Choose a three digit number ensuring the first and third digit are different by at least two.
2. Make the reverse three digit number and subtract the smaller one from the larger of these.
3. Take this answer and reverse it and add these two 3 digit numbers .
The answer is always 1089

Saw this on the show,Million 2 one,great show imo.

Here is something I learnt in the army regarding mosquito coils.

If a mosquito coil burns for one hour, and you have two of them, how do you calculate 45 minutes using them?

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

That's not so much desperation than cleverly taking advantage of someone that has dropped their guard. Is that Choi Hong Man by any chance?
