In honour of the USA civics test I took yesterday, did you know there's a basketball court on the 5th floor of the Supreme Court building in Washington D.C.?

Makes answering "what is the highest court in the land" a tricky question.

There is a beach in New Zealand named "Ninety Mile Beach".

It's a very long beach.

Fifty-five miles long, to be exact.

The dot above a lower case j or i is called a "tittle", and is centred directly above the letter in question.

According to some sources, this is the origin of the expression, "tittle tittle in the middle".

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.
