    Stephen Hawking died on March 14, 2018 at age 76. March 14 is recognized as national Pi (pie) day, because 3.14 are the first three numbers of pi.

    Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were geniuses - but average or below average students.

    If you have three quarters, four dimes and four pennies you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of coins without being able to make change for a dollar.

    A piece of paper cannot be folded no more than 7 times.

    That's actually a myth. At least about Albert Einstein. He did very well in school.

    Also Thomas Edison was a *kitten* who stole most of his inventions and took credit for it.

    Iv only heard that on Family Guy

    Google it...
    Well, partly, Edison was himself a great promoter of his image, and it was important to claim to be the sole inventor in order to win the crucial patents that would determine which person got to control the market share. Also, I think that people wanted to believe in the idea of an inventive genius. Edison certainly was, by any stretch, an inventive genius, but people were very drawn to this idea that Edison was a wizard.

    There are 6.63 quadrillion eight-character passwords that could be generated using the 94 numbers, letters, and symbols that can be typed on any keyboard.

    According to ARS Technica, one password-cracking expert developed a computer cluster that can cycle through as many as 350 billion guesses per second. This means that it could try every possible Windows password in less than six hours.
