So sometimes people ask me, what is your favorite number?

And it's a kind of a joke.

I say minus one over 12.

It's actually 42.

So language program, of course, I have to mention that.

Okay.

Oh, yes.

So that's the famous cup trick, you know?

Okay, look.

So this is how it works.

No tricks.

No magic.

It is magical, okay?

But not because I'm tricking you.

So you start with a bottle like this or a cup.

and you start twisting it, and the same time you twist your arm.

Then you come, so this is actually going to rotate at 360 degrees, the full turn.

Then you say, okay, I won't be able to do another turn because then my arm would really get twisted.

I'll have to go see a doctor.
