Silly things that have blown your mind

Actually, I agree! Numbers of factors of 25s (5*5), of which there are 2, has an additional effect as 5 is the 'base' number that determines number of zeroes.

Interestingly, that number of combinations is thought to be greater than all the atoms in the Earth or number of stars in the known universe

Not silly, but absolutly blew my mind. If you have an iphone, you can use it to identify plants, pet breed etc. For someone who is not green fingered, this is brilliant

You can google it, but here is one >> https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/how-to/how-to-identify-plants-on-iphone

Next iphone will come with a feature to find OOB golf balls..

There is an app that you can pay for, but this is free on your iPhone.

I think that the Google lens mode on the camera on Android phones does pretty much the same. You can even take a picture of an item and it will find where you can buy it online.

Wow, I hope it works, I’m growing a couple of chilli plants and the plant name washed off the stick when I watered them ?
Pretty sure one is Jalapeño but the other could be one of four or five ?

Intuitively, Edinburgh is "east coast" and Bristol is in the west country! I had to Goggle it to be sure! I am sure there will be other folk similarly surprised!

I was just about to type the same. I confess, my mind was blown and I also had to google it to double check . It is a great fact

Similarly John O'Groats isn't the most northerly point on the mainland, Dunnet Head is.
