[math-fun] mini-me black hole in center of Milky Way
As is nowadays well known, the Milky Way contains a big central black hole, mass = 4*10^6 Msun. (The mass of the whole Milky Way is of order 10^12 Msun.) http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8205/816/1/L7 SIGNATURE OF AN INTERMEDIATE-MASS BLACK HOLE IN THE CENTRAL MOLECULAR ZONE OF OUR GALAXY Tomoharu Oka, Reiko Mizuno, Kodai Miura, and Shunya Takekawa Ap.J. letters now claims evidence that orbiting it only about 200 light years away is a second hole with mass about 10^5 Msun. -- Warren D.

Might black hole distribution at the center be a cause or effect its overall form? One might ignorantly surmise that elliptical galaxies have a single central black hole, spiral galaxies two, some irregulars have more (or none).

Hi Math-Fun fans, Seven Non-Transitive Dice - a.k.a. Oskar's Dice is a set of seven dice with the following property. For every two dice that you may take from the set, there is a third dice that beats the selected two. This is explained in more detail at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontransitive_dice#Nontransitive_dice_set_for_.... Question: if John and Jane each pick a dice randomly, and I follow the chart, then what are my expected revenues per betted dollar? Watch the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrIp6CKUlH8. Buy the dice from Eric Harshbarger: http://www.ericharshbarger.org/dice/#oskar_dice.
