Quoted:
A cube is an ideal solid which has SIX equal sides and a total of EIGHT corners. I know.. you already know that. If you trace lines from opposing diagonal corners of the cube, you can see the edges of two more ideal solids: a pair of intersecting four sided tetrahedrons. The volume of the area where the two tetrahedrons intersect is also another ideal solid, in this case an octahedron which has EIGHT equal sides and SIX corners. neato.. Here's a little illustration I made: http://s23.postimg.org/qc0fx9l3v/8_6.gif View Quote That gif is really clever. |

As a volunteer math tutor, it's one of several geometric / drawing problems I give to students, but it's the first time I've created an animation with a 3D model to show this particular relationship. ETA (so as not to freeload): If you need to remove DNA from a garment, put a few drops of DAWN Ultra in a crock pot filled with enough water to submerge the shirt (or whatever it is). Let the garment stew at a medium heat setting for 6-12 hours. Also a great way to get a grease stain out of a shirt without damaging the color. |

Custer's men watched him die and did nothing to stop it. Then they went home. Sounds pretty cold, right? Less than half the regiment was killed at Little Big Horn. The other half watched Custer's Last Stand from other hilltops where they were ordered to stand fast prior to the battle. View Quote The first benghazi |

If you get a flat tire on a lawn mower, small trailer , etc and it's lost the bead/Seal , simply wrap a ratcheting tie-down all the way around the center of the tread to compress it. Then apply air from the compressor into the valve stem. It'll pop right back on and inflate. DO NOT inflate further than the 'pop' until you release the ratchet strap. View Quote |

Ever wonder why Lieutenant General outranks Major General? It is because Major General is a shortened version of Sergeant Major General. Back in medieval times, each company had a Captain, at least one Lieutenant, and a Sergeant Major. You combined companies to form an army, whose officers were the Captain General, Lieutenant General, and Sergeant Major General. Over time these were shortened to General (4 stars), Lieutenant General (3 stars) and Major General (2 stars).
