There was a tradition in old Russia. A would-be bride gathers six long pieces of straw and grasp them in her hand. She then randomly ties pairs of knots on the top and the bottom. Since there are six blades of grass sticking out above and below the hand, she will tie three knots on the top and three knots on the bottom. If she forms one big ring, she gets married soon.
Estimate the probability that the girl will get married soon.
The problem is mentioned in The New York Times NUMBERPLAY and it is credited to Sunil Singh.

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, United Kingdom.
A pile of old coins helps to keep the clock mechanism accurate. The pennies are stacked on the pendulum of the clock and have acted as weights. Adding or taking away coins effects the pendulum’s centre of mass and the rate at which it swings. A single penny will change the clock’s speed by two fifths of one second per day.
How does the weekly time change if we add 5 pennies to the pendulum?
At twelve o’clock, twelve chimes ring from the great bell in 44 seconds. ## How long does it takes to ring the hours at 15:00 ?
