The quiz is hilarious...

Just pray that you're not a zero:

In terms of relationships, if you feel the urge to 'go forth and multiply', then don't bother because nothing will come of it.

A note for "zero": Maybe it was a puzzling concept for Ancient Greeks, but "zero" was well known by the Mayans in Meso-America, probably as early as 600 BCE.

Good clip, by the way.

Eric, this is actually not a quiz but a "test" or "game". Click the "5 Numbers quiz" link at BBC site.

I was introduced to the Fibonacci series while reading the Da Vinci Code. Dab Brown used it in one of the puzzles that Robert Langdon must solve. I hadn't heard of it before and so I looked it up. My head is still spinning! It's one of those matematical things that cannot be explained in just one or two sentences.

I don't know what to say but:

e ^ (pi * i) + 1 = 0

This consequence of Euler's Equation involves the five most important constants in all of mathematics: 0, 1, i, pi, and e.

I find this really interesting even though a lot of it goes over my head!

Great clip.My fav number is π.
People may call you irrational, but that's only because they're jealous. You are talented and useful..
