If one remembers this particular episode from the popular sitcom ‘Friends’ where Ross is trying to carry a sofa to his apartment, it seems that moving a sofa up the stairs is ridiculously hard.
But life shouldn’t be that hard now should it?
The mathematician Leo Moser posed in 1966 the following curious mathematical problem: what
is the shape of largest area in the plane that can be moved around a
right-angled corner in a two-dimensional hallway of width 1? This question became known as the moving sofa problem, and is still unsolved fifty years after it was first asked.
The most common shape to move around a tight right angled corner is a square.
And another common shape that would satisfy this criterion is a semi-circle.
But
what is the largest area that can be moved around?
Well, it has been
conjectured that the shape with the largest area that one can move around a corner is known as “Gerver’s
sofa”. And it looks like so:
Wait.. Hang on a second
This
sofa would only be effective for right handed turns. One can clearly
see that if we have to turn left somewhere we would be kind of in a tough
spot.
Prof.Romik from the University of California, Davis has
proposed this shape popularly know as Romik’s ambidextrous sofa that
solves this problem.
Although Prof.Romik’s sofa may/may not be the not the optimal solution, it is definitely is a breakthrough since this can pave the way for more complex ideas in mathematical analysis and more importantly sofa design.
Have a good one!
I don’t know what to do with this information but I support it
Today a 16 year old boy was brought into the clinic by his aunt to ‘have the talk’ because his school didn’t teach sex ED and his mother wouldn’t talk to him about sex.
She spent 40 bucks so he could get tested for the first time.
I spent an hour talking to this young boy about sex. I got to have the sex talk with him. I showed him how to properly use a condom and protect himself and his partners. We talked about STDs and pregnancy prevention. We even talked about pubic grooming and ways to avoid razor burn. This poor boy has never had someone talk to him about anything related to the changes his body is going through.
And then we spent 20 minutes talking about consent and how important it is.
Growing up I never, ever had someone talk to me about consent and its importance. I even had sex ED in school!
This shit is important ya’ll.
Planned Parenthood is important
It is the parents’ duty to have “the talk” with their kids, not a government funded organization that murders babies.
First of all fucktruck: I am not a government employee. My wages are not paid by the government.
Second: zero babies have ever been murdered in a planned parenthood.
I didn’t say a god damn word about abortion but you had to get your fucking tighty whiteys in a bunch because an organization that you know nothing about is doing good things for millions of people and you hate it.
Shut your face up about shit you don’t understand you fucking dump truck.
Abortion is murder, just because they’re in the womb doesn’t change the fact you’re killing an innocent human being.
As I said, it’s not a faceless organization’s job to provide sex ed while simultaneously killing unborn children.
Listen up kiddo:
Abortion isn’t murder. Murder is illegal. Abortion is not illegal. IE abortion is not murder.
As i said (and we’ll go with what i said as not total bullshit because it’s obvious you have absolutely no real knowledge when it comes to sex or reproduction and i think we can thank your parents for that) this young man had a single mother that didn’t feel comfortable talking to him about sex. So i did it. I provided medically accurate and up to date information unlike so many parents today.
And by the way, planned parenthood isn’t some shadowy faceless organization.
For example, this is my face. The face i made while reading your stupid ass response.
Get em, Damien
Not that abortion has anything to do with your organization, but it is murder. At just two weeks the baby in the womb can feel the pain of a pin prick, and recoil. Abortion is the murder of an unborn baby. It doesn’t matter if it’s at two weeks, or if it’s seven months along. It’s still murder. It’s murdering a child. It means that that child will never have the chance to grow up, go to school, fall in love, get married, have children of there own, have a job, and so many other things.
Hi, this is damien, the OP and you can literally suck the shit out of my asshole if you think anything you just said is even remotely scientifically accurate.
At two weeks of development it’s barely even considered a pregnancy. It has no muscles, it has no brain, it is literally a clump of cells. And I’m talking like… only a few cells. In some cases it may not have even come out of the Fallopian tube. Since your knowledge of reproductive health seems to be about as developed as this other fuck truck: the Fallopian tube is the tube that connects the uterus to the ovary in which the egg travels to become fertilized.
And on top of how monumentally stupid you sound, you’re also carelessly ignoring the pregnant person. Who may be 12 or 13 years old. Why doesn’t that person get to be a teenager and have a life? Why doesn’t that person get to make their own choices?
How about you keep your shitty ass opinions to yourself.
“Suck the shit out of my asshole”.
Yes. Yes. More.
Plus also, fuck YES consent education. Consent education should be a focus in schools, how to make sure the person you’re with genuinely wants this and isn’t just doing it out of a sense of pressure and obligation. And also so that the person knows THEY can say no, any time, even if you initiated, doesn’t matter. It’s never too late to say no.
