El-Sayed: Now Mike, I'm just going to remind you: if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul. But I got some opinions about his name. See, it's very fitting for him: Rogers.
Cause that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something.
"Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard." — "Roger!"
"Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices." — "Roger!"
"Mike, we need you to rubber-stamp this war we shouldn't be fighting." — "Roger!"
"Mike" — and this one's Donald Trump — "I need you to lick these boots." — "Roger!"
And I think—I think I speak for all of us here in Michigan when I say that we are done with Rogers. Go back to Florida where you belong!

Turns out that although I’m in Vancouver I won’t be seeing Victoria Island, or the Sea to Sky Gondola, or the suspension bridge, but I’ll likely get two days at the beach and a 2nd round at Science World.
That’s vacationing with autism🤣
One fascinating lesser-known fact in mathematics is Kaprekar's constant: 6174. Indian mathematician D.R. Kaprekar discovered it in 1949 through patient experimentation.
Take any four-digit number where not all digits are the same (e.g., 3141, but not 1111). Rearrange its digits to form the largest and smallest possible numbers, then subtract the smaller from the larger.
Repeat the process with the result. Within at most 7 steps, you'll always reach 6174; and once there, it stays at 6174 forever (it's a fixed point).
Quick example with 3141:
4311 − 1134 = 3177
7731 − 1377 = 6354
6543 − 3456 = 3087
8730 − 0378 = 8352
8532 − 2358 = 6174
7641 − 1467 = 6174 (and it loops here)
This works for every qualifying four-digit number due to the finite set of possibilities and the structure of the operation in base 10.
