HEADS OR TAILS? WHAT'S LUCK GOT TO DO WITH IT?

Have you ever decided something using heads or tails? We never know which way the coin will land and it seems like luck is the deciding factor. However, it turns out that there are some big tricks out there when it comes to tossing a coin. Consider these facts: 

1. If the coin is tossed and caught, it has about a 51% chance of landing on the same face it was launched. (If it starts out as heads, there's a 51% chance it will end as heads).

2. If the coin is spun, rather than tossed, it can have a much-larger-than-50% chance of ending with the heavier side down. Spun coins can exhibit "huge bias" (some spun coins will fall tails-up 80% of the time).

3. If the coin is tossed and allowed to clatter to the floor, this probably adds randomness.

4. If the coin is tossed and allowed to clatter to the floor where it spins, as will sometimes happen, the above spinning bias probably comes into play...

This demonstrates that she is a widely known celebrity and accepted by the most prestigious media of the world.

 

Rihanna is shown on the front page of the next edition of Vogue Italia, which is much more than only a fashion magazine. It is probably the most important magazine in the world of fashion and trend, thus being a protagonist on the front page is very important for Rihanna.

RECEPIES: DELICIOUS EGG CARAMEL CUSTARD

This is one of the most delicious and nutritious desserts which you can easily make by yourself, though you will have to ask an adult to help you make the caramel, as this can be slightly dangerous.

 

First you have to make liquid caramel. Pour five spoonfuls of sugar and three of water into a pan and toast the sugar. When the water evaporates and the sugar turns into a toasty colour, rapidly – but carefully - pour the caramel into the custard tins.

 

In order to make the custard, break 4 eggs into the bowl and beat. Then add 4 spoonfuls of sugar and mix it all. At last, add half a litre of milk and whip. Now pour the mixed ingredients into the tins but not up to the top, leave some centimetres so they do not overflow during the simmering process.

 

For the simmering take an oven tray which is deep enough and fill it thumb deep with water. Place the custards carefully on the tray avoiding that they float and make sure that the tray does not contain too much water, as otherwise it would get into the custards. Once you have placed all the custards on the tray, put it into the oven for an hour at medium temperature.

 

In order to know whether the custards are ready, slightly move them and if they have consistency, they are ready. Take them off the tray and leave them in the fridge for 8 hours before you serve them.

This video is a tribute to eight classic video games and took 1.500 hours to be made

 

 The technique with which it was made is called Stop Motion and is achieved by many pictures showing the object every time when it moves or changes its position. This way the person who changes the object’s position never appears on the picture and when seeing the pictures very quickly it seems like the object moved by itself. The Video which we will show you is called 8 Bit-Trip and was made by the music band Drymdreglag from Sweden. In this video they used the famous little Lego bricks to construct many figures to make a tribute to classical games such as Super Mario Bros, Tetris or Packman.

 

 

Imagine that every time the figures seem to move they actually were added some more bricks by somebody who then every time took pictures of the modified figure. That’s why we shouldn’t be surprised that they dedicated more than 1.500 hours to make this video which is less than 4 minutes long. There are really talented and patient people around!
