John is sitting around a round table with some other men. He has one more dollar than the person to his right and that person in turn has one more dollar than the person to his right and so on around the table. Then, John gives one dollar to the person to his right and he in turn gives 2 dollars to the person to his right and that person gives 3 dollars to the person to his right and so on. This process continues around the table as many times as is necessary until someone has no money left. At that time, John has 9 times the money as the person to his right. How many men are there along with John, how much money did he start with, and how much money does he have at the end?
Can you prove the uniqueness of the solution?

Is is because raindrops are a sphere? Can you change the shape of the reaction by dropping, say, a sugar cube....? What makes it round and expanding outward? Don't you love puddle bubbles?

I bet if there were a naked woman/man on Mars, everyone would own a telescope. In my opinion, Astronomy and space exploration are two underrated fields of scientific study.

I need to get seeds for a child's science project. As the project is supposed to be done by the end of the month I need seeds that are readily available and germinate quickly and easily. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Ok, I know that the electron charge is the same but opposite to the proton charge. But why? A proton is much larger, and much more massive than an electron. Why the charge is exactly the same? Why not one is a fraction of the other? Why is not a multiple? Why exactly the same?

Well... earth as prestine as it was before is just a ball of shallow water, with sea living creature as big as we know as dinosaurs. It has check and balance of evolution.

Then, a big meteor hits the earth in the middle(now called Hawaii) and made a crater(now called Ring of Fire). Plate tectonics developed. To balance the effect, earth distributed its displaced soils around the world and volcanoes was developed to give way to the massive volume of the meteor that earth engulfed...

Then, another evolution begun... from the sea to the land, a land that have been exposed directly to the sun... and dinosaurs as we know them has evolved from it...

Then another meteor hits the earth! This time in Mexico, that have ended the dinosaur evolution era!

Fantasy world is it not? But do you think this could have had happened?

P.S.: I know it is against Darwin's Theory and also of the present scietific findings of tectonic movements as the movements still occurs today.
