		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever watched rugby matches on TV and noticed the advertisements on the field that looked 3-dimensional? I remember having the impression that the adverts were superimposed by the TV people. But when I told the wife, she plainly pointed out that when the players ran across the field, their bodies covered the ads [...]]]></description>

(Note the word &#8220;published&#8221; appeared thrice in the previous sentence.) In fact a movie already seen by several millions was made about Kim who [...]]]></description>

&#8220;How I need a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving Euclid&#8217;s algorithm&#8221; 
I&#8217;ve substituted &#8220;quantum mechanics&#8221; with &#8220;Euclid&#8217;s algorithm&#8221;, not exactly ideal since it is usually called Euclidean algorithm, plus do you count that apostrophe? But [...]]]></description>

It demands very little previous knowledge; its subject matter is tangible and familiar; the processes of reasoning which it employs are simple, general and few; and it is unique among the mathematical sciences in its appeal to natural [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
There are two kinds of generalizations. One is cheap and the other is valuable. It is easy to generalize by diluting a little idea with a big terminology. It is much more difficult to prepare a refined and condensed extract from several good ingredients. &#8212; G. Polya

From Induction and Analogy in Mathematics, 1954.
But I actually [...]]]></description>

For me QR-codes are great because they are mysterious (at first) and students find them interesting. And I&#8217;m saying this after having actually tried it in class. I printed out the codes which had links to some [...]]]></description>

1) Prove that  has no non-trivial solutions in integers.
2) Prove that  has no non-trivial solutions in integers, for all 
That&#8217;s actually apocryphal. Another story which appeared in George Dantzig&#8217;s obituary, tells [...]]]></description>
