Something random that I found interesting:

1. Occam’s razor, also known as the principle of parsimony, says “of two explanations, the simpler one is preferred.” For example, another explanation of the same concept is, “Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem”, which translates as “entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity”. Note: the second explanation is against the concept it describes. And using Occam’s razor, I got a really short hair-cut.

2. God’s number is 20 for a standard 3x3 Rubuk’s Cube. For those who really want to learn the math, check this out.

3. A fun meme for PhDs.
