Beautiful Ugly

Today’s BLOTT has an interesting stream of consciousness.

It started with a conversation with UC#3: “How hard can it be to tune your own piano?” [ed. note: very hard]

Which led to….

Which somehow led to solving the seemingly easy, but actually really difficult problem:

[from UC#3] I have spent many hours and actually have written quite a bit of Fortran code on this question. “Do you get wetter running fast through the rain from point A to point B versus walking from Point A to Point B?”

which led UC#3 to Poisson probabilistic processes, which led to….

Which led to the French word for “fish”….

A 1.8 meter sunfish, the heaviest bony fish on Earth, has washed up on an Australian beach. A very rare find. The images of this little-known specimen posted on Facebook by Linette Grzelak aroused curiosity and went around the world.

The sunfish, also known as a mole or Mola mola, was found dead at the mouth of the Murray River in southern Australia this weekend.
