Christina – Usually when you get a group of teenagers together, you expect there to be some sort of goofing off, playing around to happen. Afterall, that is what that age is for – running around and having fun. But for four Oklahoma teenagers, being bored ended up helping them become heroes.

Sixteen-year-old Seth Byrd, 17-year-old Wyatt Hall, 16-year-old Dylan Wick and 14-year-old Nick Byrd. had been looking for something to do one evening recently. The teens had finally settled on running to a local convenience store for drinks, when, Byrd said they smelled fire.

It smelled kind of like burning rubber. Then, we heard the house alarm go off,” Wick said. Continue reading

How Bad Policy Enables Massive Fraud in U.S. Benefits

Fraud by Design

How Bad Policy Enables Massive Fraud in U.S. BenefitsJim Cardoza – One of the most persistent illusions in modern politics is that good intentions are a substitute for sound incentives. Nowhere is this illusion more costly than in America’s vast entitlement programs. Each year, hundreds of billions of dollars are distributed through programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, food assistance, housing subsidies, and pandemic-era relief funds. And each year, tens of billions — by even conservative official estimates — are lost to fraud, improper payments, and abuse.

The question is not whether fraud exists. It plainly does. The more serious question is why it persists at such scale — and why the scale of fraud so often approaches the scale of opportunity itself. Continue reading

Uncover the Hidden Letter Patterns in Number Spellings

Which letter doesn’t appear in any number before 1,000?

Uncover the Hidden Letter Patterns in Number SpellingsMichael Nordine – Every single- and double-digit number has something in common that has nothing to do with their mathematical values: When spelled out, none contains the letter “A.” The first number spelled with the first letter of the alphabet is 1,000. Every other vowel appears at least once before “A” makes its long-awaited debut.

The letter “B,” meanwhile, doesn’t show up until 1 billion, and “C” isn’t used until much later, in 1 octillion (a little-used number featuring a whopping 27 zeros). Funnily enough, less commonly used letters such as “Z” and “X” show up extremely early — in zero and six, respectively — with “X” showing up more than 200 times before “A” shows up once.
