Coin trick question
Here is an amazing trick for you to try, but before you actually try it out, try to guess at the answer.
Take 2 coins of equal size. Keep one fixed and rotate the other one against the fixed one with the rims touching and without it slipping. How many times will the moving coin rotate on going one round the fixed coin?
Try it!

Pigs are much more intelligent than what many people give them credit for!
Professor Stanley Curtis and Dr. Sarah Boysen of Penn State University in a study found that pigs are much smarter than dogs. Pigs are capable of abstract representation and are able to hold an icon in mind and remember it at a later date. Pigs did better at video games than some primates. Pigs communicate constantly with one another and more tha 20 of their oinks have been identified for different situations, from wooing their mates to saying "I'm hungry". They have temperature preferences and can learn through trial and error how to turn on the heat in a cold barn and turn it off again when it is too warm. Pigs have even saved the lives of their owner by dragging her free from a muddy bog. Pig Prowess.
