Cuddly toy sent to space!
Cuddly Toy Lost in Space
April 12, 2016
A group of school children are searching for a toy dog which went missing after they launched it into space.
As part of a science project, the pupils from a school in Lancashire used a giant helium balloon to see if they could send Sam the Dog, a cuddly toy, to the edge of space.
They strapped Sam onto his spacecraft, along with a GPS tracker and a GoPro camera to capture the action.
The ‘launch’ was successful. Sam rose to a height of about 25km.
However, the problems began during his descent. The balloon popped and Sam’s spacecraft plummeted to Earth, landing over 50km away from the launchpad. The GPS and camera were there, but Sam was nowhere to be seen.
Now, the school has mounted a campaign to find the dog.
Twitter users are being urged to take part in the #FindSam hashtag as the search goes on.
This is weird who would send a cuddly toy into space? XD

Worlds longest pizza!
World longest pizza
May 25, 2016
Italian chefs have made the world longest pizza measuring a whooping 1,853.88 metres long.
The pizza was made in Naples by a team of around 400 chefs.
The 400-person team worked for 11 hours to work with 2000kg of flour.
The pizza include 1,600 kg of tomatoes, 2,000 kg of fiordilatte cheese and 200 litres of olive oil – all of which was sourced from local suppliers in the Campania region, ‘the home of pizza’.
The pizza bettered the old record by more than 400m after it was fed through a wood-burning oven.
Guinness measured and certified the record.
Here's a video for it

Child hacker got paid $10,000
Facebook pays child hacker $10,000
May 10, 2016
A 10-year-old Finnish boy received $10,000 from Facebook for finding and reporting a security flaw he discovered on its photo- and video-sharing service Instagram.
However, the young hacker is three years shy of the age required to open an account on Facebook, he can’t even share the good news.
Jani found a way to delete comments posted under images on other people’s accounts on Instagram. He said that he could delete anyone’s comments, even those of pop star Justin Bieber.
It’s not unusual for Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo, Microsoft, and others to give hackers money to help their internal teams identify and fix potential security problems.
Jani is among about 800 hackers who collectively have earned $4.3 million since 2011 through Facebook’s bounty program.
The Finn is also the youngest Facebook hacker, beating out a 13-year-old for the title, and one of the highest paid by the company.
This is unbelievable and I think he got a world record of
the youngest and highest paid child hacker...Lucky huh?

Spot the mistake
Can you spot the mistake?
May 5, 2016
Can you spot the mistake?
The latest one to get people thinking doesn’t necessarily require maths skills or lateral thinking, but is a simple test of your observation skills.
You’re told there is a mistake and asked to identify it. You probably won’t notice it immediately, but once you do… you’ll be kicking yourself.
Give yourself only 5 to 10 seconds ……
Most people will immediately look at the multi-coloured numbers to see if that’s where the mistake is.
How quickly did you see it?
