Switzerland celebrated the opening of the world’s longest train tunnel, a 17-year project that cuts through the Alps and cost €11 billion to construct – but all anyone’s talking about is its ridiculous opening ceremony. Efforts to highlight the incredible engineering accomplishment of the 2,300 meter-deep Gotthard tunnel resulted in an utterly strange opening ceremony that reported cost €8 million. Co-ordinated by German director Volker Hesse, the performances were supposed to represent various aspects of Swiss culture, but, at times, ended up resembling a Kanye West fashion show.

In November 1962, … Continue reading →

If you like solving math puzzles, read on. In this TED-Ed video, we’re confronted with the “locker riddle.” In it, your wealthy uncle has just passed away, and 100 of his relatives—yourself included—arrive at the reading of his will. Being an eccentric fellow, your uncle’s will is bizarre. It stipulates that if all 100 relatives work together to solve the problem (by opening the lockers following a series of rules), you’ll share in the inheritance together by unlocking a giant safe, using clues contained in the lockers. But if one person can figure it out without “doing the legwork” (opening … Continue reading →
