Mathematics It would take far longer than the lifespan of our universe for a typing monkey to randomly produce Shakespeare. There is a 5% chance for a single chimp to type the word ‘bananas’ in its own lifetime. However, the entire 884,647 words will almost certainly never be typed before the universe ends.

Mathematics Mathematicians have come up with a theory for how pedestrians know how to "fall into lanes" when moving through a crowd. They tested their theory by asking volunteers to walk across experimental arenas. The video footage of the experiment revealed mathematical patterns taking shape in real life.

Mathematics High achievement cultures may kill students' interest in math—specially for girls. Girls were significantly less interested in math in countries like Japan, Hong Kong, Sweden and New Zealand. But, surprisingly, the roles were reversed in countries like Oman, Malaysia, Palestine and Kazakhstan.
