Should you pick heads or tails? The answer!

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm chunning Mack with five good news stories. Happy birthday to earn A, the duck. Erna turned seventeen and an animal sanctuary in Rhode Island through a party to celebrate. Wendy Taylor is the founder and executive director of West Place Animal Sanctuary. She says Erna is an incredibly special duck, and her motherly instincts have helped us save lives and raise orphan birds at the sanctuary. Her maternal instincts have not only saved lives, but also enriched the lives of both humans and animals alike. Crested Peakin ducks typically live around twelve years. Taylor said this is a major milestone for Erna. For a variety of reasons, form animals do not often make it to old age. She's given the humans the animals of West Place so much fun, and in turn, West Place is given Erna the greatest gift of all, the opportunity to grow old Erne's gonna have to hang around for a while if she wants to set the record for oldest duck. Ever, that title belongs to a pair of ducks owned by Glattys from Grahamstown, South Africa. The pair of ducks lived to be age forty nine. Huh, must have had some good jeans in that duck pool. I don't know how ducks work.

1:15 I don't know. Forty nine seems like odd. The two of them were forty nine, Move on and escaped. Cow was caught on camera. Now the cops fan out about this because they were watching the traffic cam and the cow was spotted going the wrong way through traffic on the northbound lanes of Redwood Road. Now, cow, if you're gonna go into traffic, at least go with traffic. The cow was caught and tied to a lamppost before being loaded onto a trailer by police. In a statement, the Saratoga Springs Police Department said earlier today, we helped the Lehigh City Police Department chase a cow down Redwood Road. This cow has been safely returned to its owner. NASA is analyzing a two pound object that crashed through the roof of a Florida man's house. They wanted to figure out if it came from the International Space Station.

2:02 Alejandro was home suddenly, you know, crashed boom. The sound was recorded by his ring camera. US Space Command recorded the re entry of a piece of debris from the International Space Station around the same time, over the Gulf of Mexico, with a trajectory taking it towards southwest Florida. The debris was a cargo palette of depleted batteries that originally been intended to be returned to Earth in a controlled manner, but a failed Soyuz spacecraft launch led to an interruption in the ISS schedule, and a palette of batteries instead headed back to Earth in an uncontrolled re entry. Alejandro told the local news it used to have a cylindrical shape, and you could tell by the shape of the top that traveled in this direction through the atmosphere. Whatever you burned created in this burn and melted the metal over in this direction. A Chinese man drank one point one gallons of water and brought it back up to serve as a human fountain for a record breaking five minutes and fifty one point eight eight seconds.

3:00 So you're gonna drink a bunch of water, or put a bunch of water in your mouth or whatever you do, and then you have to spit it out like your fountain. Okay, you can picture this The five minute record broke the previous record of fifty six seconds. What guinnas said the rules for longest time to spray water from the mouth category required the water from the man's mouth to be spurted or sprayed, with no dribbling allowed. The record it tamped ends when the stream breaks or stops. Guinness said. Water spouting is a trick involving precise muscle control and has been performed since at least the seventeenth century. Heads are tails, well, you might want to see which way I'm holding the coin. A team of researchers analyze the results of three hundred and fifty seven hundred and fifty seven coin tosses to determine whether the results are truly fifty to fifty, and they found that coins are slightly more likely to land the same way that they started. Interesting, the three hundred and fifty seven hundred and fifty seven coin flips from forty eight people used forty six different currencies, So this isn't just like American quarters are messed up, The scientists said, we found overwhelming evidence for a same side bias. If you start heads up, the coin is more likely the land heads up and vice versa.

4:11 Coins slipped into the air and caught in the hand had a fifty point eight percent chance of landing on the same side they started from right. So we got to see if you know you're gonna do the let it hit the ground thing, or if you're gonna let it hit the hand and then you flip it over on your arm, does that change the math? The researchers rode. If you bet a dollar and the outcome of a coin toss and repeat the bet one thousand times, knowing the starting position of the coin toss would earn you nineteen dollars on average. That's more than the casino average for a six deck blackjack against optimal strategy player, where the casino would make five dollars on a comparable bet, but less than the casino advantage for single zero roulett where the casino would make twenty seven dollars on average. Researchers say the odds very slightly from flipper to flipper, with some coin flippers showing a clear bias toward same side landings, another showing no bias at all.
