LARGE NUMBER
Assume there are approximately 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) people on earth.  What would you estimate to be the result, if you multiply together the number of fingers on every person's left hands? (For the purposes of this exercise, thumbs count as fingers, for five fingers per hand.)  If you cannot estimate the number, then try to guess how long the number would be.

That will be 5 billion X 10 so you would just add a zero at the end so it will be 50,000,000,000.

A RIDDLE

Four men sat down to play.  
They played all night till break of day.

With separate scores for everyone.
When they came to square accounts
They all made quite fair amounts.
Can you this paradox explain?
If no one lost, how could all gain?

LIGHT YEARS AHEAD
If you could travel faster than the speed of light, then you could catch up with the light which radiated from your body some time ago.  You would then be able to see yourself as you used to be when you were younger.  Although faster-than-light travel is impossible, at least at this time, how can we catch up with the light that we radiated earlier and see ourselves directly--as we used to be?
