An Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-tester is a device that lets you test whether a light-sensitive bomb is a dud or not at arbitrary precision, without blowing it up. It is an example of interaction-free measurement.

The method does not really have any practical uses so far, although it has been demonstrated experimentally.

The white lines that divide the road on highways are about 10 feet long. Also, the space between each line is 30 feet. This may be US only. Don’t know about other countries.

Because across the human population, there’s almost nobody with 3 legs, but a considerable number of people with 1 leg. So the average number of legs across humanity is less than 2.

That means most people have an above average number of legs.
