Ibn Battuta was a Muslim Moroccan scholar and explorer who travelled extensively in Afro-Eurasia, largely in the lands of Dar al-Islam, travelling more than any other explorer in pre-modern history, totalling around 117,000 km (72,000 miles), surpassing Zheng He with about 50,000 km (30,000 miles) and Marco Polo with 24,000 km (15,000 miles). Over a period of thirty years, Ibn Battuta visited most of southern Eurasia, including Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, and the Iberian Peninsula. Near the end of his life, he dictated an account of his journeys, titled A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling, but commonly known as The Rihla.

Ninety-nine and one hundred

How many pluses should we put between the digits of 987,654,321 to get a total of 99, and where?

There are two solutions. To find even one is not easy. But the experience will help you put pluses between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, in order to get a total of 100. (a schoolgirl from Kemerovo, central Siberia, has found two solutions.)

Like usual remember to have fun :soviet-heart: and to dm @Wmill the answer.

Hopefully noone else was planning on making one :scared:

What are we going to do tonight, Brain?

I hate how American news hosts always have this obnoxious acting style where they act way overly confused and flabbergasted at everything. It’s like they think it’s good presenting to act like you have no idea what words mean.

Why am I debating with a br*t about Hong Kong? He literally believes Hong Kong is “Chinese occupied territory”, along with Macau, Tibet, Manchuria…

Fuck the west omg.

My cat spent the entire night curled up into my side, so sweet and so good. At one point she had a little kitty nightmare and gave a couple of sleepy cries until I pet her and told her it was okay, then she started purring her little head off and wriggling into my arms till she was being held like a teddy bear, and usually she only does that for my wife :soviet-bottom: cats are too perfect
