The figure-eight knot has played an important role historically (and continues to do so) in the theory of 3-manifolds.Sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s, William Thurston showed that the figure-eight was hyperbolic, by decomposing its complement into two ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra.
A better brute-force algorithm places a single queen on each row, leading to only 8 8 = 2 24 = 16,777,216 blind placements. It is possible to do much better than this. One algorithm solves the eight rooks puzzle by generating the permutations of the numbers 1 through 8 (of which there are 8! = 40,320), and uses the elements of each permutation ...
The infinity symbol (∞) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity.This symbol is also called a lemniscate, [1] after the lemniscate curves of a similar shape studied in algebraic geometry, [2] or "lazy eight", in the terminology of livestock branding.
I laughed at Maxine's dad's caption when he said, "They lasted one day", and included the eye roll emoji. I'm willing to bet that the firefighters would let them stay on the crew though, I think ...

That gives the 8-5 Seahawks a two-game lead over the Cardinals and the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Seahawks still have to contend with the 7-6 Rams, who got a big win on Sunday, and the 6-7 49ers ...
A figure-of-eight loop tied using the follow-through method. A figure-eight loop is created by doubling the rope into a bight, then tying the standard figure-eight knot.. In climbing, this knot is used to save time when repeatedly attaching the rope to climbing harnesses, using locking carabiners, such as when a group of people are climbing on the same top-rope.
The travel industry is gearing up for an exciting 2025, with destinations offering a mix of luxury, adventure and cultural immersion. Whether exploring iconic landmarks or venturing into...
