with Johnny Ball
A lighthearted exploration of science, technology and numbers. This week Johnny finds
No Cockles, Just Muscles, Alive Alive Oh
Squeezing muscles, waving muscles, levering muscles, spring muscles and jumping muscles. He'll be in deep water seeing how Archimedes showed his muscles, how to travel first class and still keep a balance and how to keep a camera steady When you're all over the place.
Meanwhile, flex your brain on this one:
A round-the-world cyclist has travelled 15,951 kilometres. How many kilometres must he travel before his speedometer again shows a number which reads the same backwards?
