Brain Teaser 10/7/2014

Suppose you’re in a hallway lined with 100 closed lockers. You begin by opening every locker. Then you close every second locker. Then you go to every third locker and open it (if it’s closed) or close it (if it’s open). (Let’s call this action toggling a locker.) Continue toggling every nth locker on pass number n. After 100 passes, where you toggle only locker #100, how many lockers are open?

Boxer Gives Its Owner A Death Stare, Becomes Our New Favourite Internet Dog

Stop everything. We just found our new favourite internet dog.



It's TD Stoppenhagen's boxer - and as you can see, s/he gives the best look of disgust ever:







Of course, Stoppenhagen and his dog don't just listen to disco. They also listen to Tears For Fears... although the dog doesn't seem to much care until the word 'squirrel' is mentioned:







And of course, you know what that reminds us of, don't you...

German Musician Anna-Maria Hefele Demonstrates Polyphonic Overtone Singing, And It's Amazing

"Overtone singing is a voice technique where one person sings two notes at the same time," explains German musician Anna-Maria Hefele.



Hefele is an 'open throat' singer - and her amazing ability has seen this video go viral. Not least because the sound of a vocalist holding a low note (the 'fundamental') while simultaneously singing a scale of high notes (the 'overtone scale') is utterly bizarre, and somewhat Twilight Zone-ey.



She also teaches this technique - and if you're interested in learning it (and fancy a trip to Austria), she's shortly running a workshop in Salzburg, 25-26 October. You know what to do, polyphonic overtone singing fans! http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

10 Life Lessons Nobody Ever Taught You

'Where's Beyoncé?!' Cody The Teenager Is VERY Confused After His Wisdom Teeth Surgery

"This is my 17 year old son who just came out of dental surgery," explains Christine Livingston of North Carolina. "He had his wisdom teeth removed. He is upset because his idol Beyoncé never showed up."



Understandably, I'm sure you'd agree.



Yes, it's the latest in the 'post-wisdom teeth surgery' canon of YouTube videos: 'Beyoncé After Dentist'. It begins with this wonderful exchange between Christine and Cody:



"Who are you looking for?"



"Where's Beyoncé?!"



"Beyoncé couldn't make it."



"She told me she'd be here!"



"It's gonna be OK."



"She lied to me!"



And goes on to include Cody being very alarmed by his own burps (and blood), thinking he's going to Africa (although he hates it) and being convinced that the FBI are manning a road block.



Bless you, poor Cody. We hope you become a very big star as a result of your mum making (gentle) fun of you. And we hope Beyoncé gets to see this video and finally shows up.
