Recognize this number?
If not, you probably didn't pay attention in math class as much as you should have... This is Pi, and it's a very interesting number for a few simple reasons, but one main reason: IT NEVER ENDS!! and also, IT NEVER REPEATS ITSELF.

b) just help you (or your child) pass the next math test?

This is the most fascinating optical illusion I've seen. It's supposedly a way to tell if you're using more of your right brain or left brain but I'm not sure about that. It is interesting that I've been able, with just my mind, to control the direction of the girl's spin.
