Retroglo is composed of 50,000 minute glass beads per square inch. The material is retroreflective, meaning it reflects light back to a light source, such as toward a car's headlights. The glass beads used in Retroglo are much smaller than the beads used in reflective road surface marking paint used on highways. Retroglo can be woven, braided ...
A police officer in Taiwan wears a white motorcycle helmet in conjunction with a high-visibility vest. According to a 2004 study, the wearing of reflective or fluorescent clothing correlated with a 37 percent lower risk of a rider sustaining a crash-related injury; likewise, white helmets demonstrated a 24 percent reduction.

Only two symbols (πΉ to count units and π to count tens) were used to notate the 59 non-zero digits. These symbols and their values were combined to form a digit in a sign-value notation quite similar to that of Roman numerals ; for example, the combination πππΉπΉπΉ represented the digit for 23 (see table of digits above).
The total value of the number is 1 ten, 0 ones, 3 tenths, and 4 hundredths. The zero, which contributes no value to the number, indicates that the 1 is in the tens place rather than the ones place. The place value of any given digit in a numeral can be given by a simple calculation, which in itself is a complement to the logic behind numeral ...
