Abstract
On the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the video game Pac-Man, Google created a miniature version of the game and placed it as its logo on its home page. How much total time was wasted in the United States playing this game?
(Thanks to Daniel Drill of Old Dominion University for suggesting the question.)
Animal tissue is diamagnetic. How large a magnetic field gradient is needed to levitate frogs or people?
