Leap day babies?
A friend of mine has his birthday on feb 29th. He was turning 49 and me and my gf showed up to his party with balloons with the number 12 on them (since that’s how many actual birthdays he’d had).
number 10 is Ringo
Debatable.
idk man, seems pretty straightforward to me
“Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?”
“Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles”- The Beatles

You might want to double check. I didn’t. I just want to caution people about blindly trusting Snopes. So they might very well be right on this topic.
Are you a dozen or so thoughts down? Yes? Do you deserve love for the perfect share? Very yes!
Brilliant, thanks.
I mean… Snopes warns against blindly trusting Snopes. (After reading, make sure to click on “Additional Information” at the bottom.
I’ve heard from multiple sources (all dubious) that Ringo was the adhesive that held the band together during contentious times. Usually that role is appointed to the heart but in this case it was appointed to the Ringo. The drummer.
Alternatively he was the adult in the room
he was… the skin?

John? Is that you?
8 is yes, but I don’t have enough space to fit the proof in a post.
Easy, only relevant part: defined as being > 1
from the explanation:
This is a famous, centuries-old open question in math known as Goldbach’s conjecture. Mathematicians widely believe that it is true,it has held true for every number checked up to 4 ⋅ 1018, but since it’s impossible to check every number, we can’t assume it’s universally true
Way more than enough to make any thing true on the interweb these days
Woosh
Oh no dude, that wasn’t referred to you at all, I got and enjoyed your lighthearted humour, the comment was a just general consideration on the rhetoric I too often encounter when diving into a heavily controversial threads on the interweb; e.g. usually a rando with 5 figures karma points will suddenly pop up out of nowhere bringing up bro’mbastically that in his own singular experience the argument was true/false, therefore whatever was the hypothesis, or the wall of text of fact-checked peer-reviewed argumentation presented, it surely must be simply correct/wrong…and everyone lived happily ever after in demagogyland.

4 is a trick question. Both had zero shark attacks, the so-called “shark” in Jaws was in fact a symbol of predatory capitalism and its amoral violence against the proletariat
5: originally? None. They say there were no stars or planets. Also time and space came to be afterwards.
Edit: I just read the explainxkcd, I get it now. :)
Number 7 is gonna be a real question one day. Wonder whether it’ll be pneumatic tubes or matter transporters that gets there first?
Nah, small airplanes are relatively easy to build. Even if we eventually stop large-scale production there’ll always be the occasional hobbiest putting a one-seater together.

Production models.
- Sydney.
…is the second largest city in Australia. But also has an inflated sense of self-importance.
;)
It was also the capital before Canberra, so I guess it gets to be the other one after Canberra?
Only Melbourne was previously the official capital of the federated colonies which became the Commonwealth of Australia. Sydney was, and still is, the capital of NSW - but was never the capital of the country.
Regarding 4. Do lawyer attacks count as shark attacks?
Regarding #9’s alternative, “Not counting Canberra, what city was the most recently founded state capital of Australia?” is a bit of a bad question in and of itself, given that Canberra isn’t a state capital, since the ACT isn’t a state but rather a territory of Australia (alongside the Northern Territory).

Huh, I figured neither movie was a Spielberg movie. Turns out both are
He really has a thing for including shark attacks in all his movies, if you pay attention there’s tons of subtle shark stack references in all of his films.
Yeah it was a fucking massacre in the opening scene of saving private ryan.
8 (about Goldbachs conjecture) is one that I don’t quite get. Isn’t the number 8 already proof that this isn’t true (sum of 4+4)?
8 is the sum of 5+3 both of which are primes. I think the Conjecture just states that there is a sum of two primes not every sum consists only of primes
Ah gotcha! I thought it meant exclusively prime numbers
7+1
1 is not a prime number. It would have to be 3+5
Then wouldn’t 4 fail the conjecture? 4 = 1+ 3 but 1 is not a prime.Nevermind my sleepy self somehow thought 2 isn’t a prime number :)
Was there like a second panel with a punchline for this one…?
Ten punchlines aren’t enough for you?
