a lttle one i have been thinking about
Is there an odd number which is equal to the sum of its divisors? A number which is equal to the sum of its divisors is called a Perfect number. The ancient Greeks knew the first few: 6 is divisible by 1, 2 and 3. 1+2+3=6. 28 is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14. And guess what? 1+2+4+7+14=28. Nobody has ever found an odd number which has this property, but nobody has been able to prove that there are none. So this is an unsolved problem which dates back to the time of the ancient Greeks.

pythagoras's theorem states:
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (i.e. the two sides other than the hypotenuse).
or
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
wher C is the hypotenuse and A & B are the other two sides!
so why is A^3 + B^3 ≠ C^3 ???
(≠ means does not equal)

if youre standing in a bus at the front next to the driver
> and the bus is travelling at 40mph
> you then take a jump (directly upwards)
do you? :
a: land in the same place you jumped from
b: end up somewhere further towards the middle/rear of the bus because it was moving?

sense or confusion i do not know as i have never tried it and am not a physicist

rest assured someone will know the answer, or will go and try it out to find out the answer
p.s. i know that you should stay seated whilst the bus is in motion, but in this case there will be an exception for scientific reason

Not mathamatical... BUT if the earth suddenly stopped spinning would we all fall over?
Tyres eventually loose there tread yeah? so this means the rubber must come from the tyre? Where does it go? Why are the side of the roads not covered in little rubber mountains?

and the floor of the bus will be moving, the same speed as the bus
40mph as said 
i dont know of any pavements that do 40mph
