Color Puzzle
If even numbers are green and odd numbers are yellow...
...what colour is yellow + yellow?
Solution (Previous Puzzle):
This route is not possible.
If you could arrive at the North Pole whilst travelling North West, you could leave the North Pole travelling South East and reverse our journey.
However, you cannot leave the North Pole travelling South East (as everywhere is South), therefore you cannot arrive whilst travelling North West.
You will simply spiral ever closer, and never get there.

In 132 CE, Zhang Heng presented his latest invention: a large vase he claimed could tell them whenever an earthquake occurred for hundreds of miles. Today, we no longer rely on pots as warning systems, but earthquakes still offer challenges to those trying to track them. Why are earthquakes so hard to anticipate, and how could we get better at predicting them? Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl investigates.
