A regular sudoku with a single solution needs at least 17 clues to be solvable.

The tritone, a.k.a. the devil's interval, suffered no frowning upon or ban in medieval times but was used alongside other intervals with no dire consequences.

The last person to be publicly executed in Norway, was sentenced to be beheaded for stealing a slice of bread, together with the purse, the horse, the sled and the clothes belonging to the previous owner, before murdering the same ex owner with an axe. During interrogations he insisted that everything they found during a search was his, included the purse with the victim's name in it, as well as the bloodied clothes and boots several sizes too small. His attemps to fit the small boots on his large feet when the court ordered him to, did not convince the law they had the wrong man, despite his enthustiastic attempts.

Decidedly the obverse of the famous OJ Simpson murder trial with evidence gloves found at scene: "If the glove don't fit, U must aquit!"...it didn't fit.

Somali pirates have such a hatred for Western culture, that the British Navy uses music from Britney Spears to scare them off.

I'll add to Jim's post.
AWOL statistics dropped for British Naval Personnel 50% after the start of using her music on Pirates. Last edited by Jeff-Groves; 03-13-21 at 01:30 PM. |

Leo Fender, who designed some of the most famous guitars, could not for the life of him play guitar.

If Ramanujan's name is coded in such a way that A=1, B=2 and so on, and the numbers are added together, one gets 93.
1729 mod(93) = 55 which equals the sum of all the 10 digits. Last edited by Von Due; 03-13-21 at 02:50 PM. |

One of the first solid-body guitars was invented by Les Paul.
However! Gibson did not believe it would sell. The first mass-produced solid-body guitar was Fender Esquire and Fender Broadcaster (later to become the Fender Telecaster), first made in 1948, five years after Les Paul made his prototype. |
