01:26 - about thinking outside the box. A student from Bashkiria on the exam in mathematics instead of answering wrote the lyrics of Britney Spears Hold it against me with all the exclamations, including Yeah and Uh-uh. The answer, of course, was not counted. But the young man still scored 56 points with a minimum threshold of 27. The presenters think that they could have chosen a better single, and they also remember their stories from the exams and resourcefulness in their answers.

18:35 - about chipping. Elon Musk's company Neuralink is developing a chip for implantation into the brain, and last week the entrepreneur talked about the benefits of the device on his Twitter. The implant will help control hormone levels, successfully treat depression and various types of addictions. And it will also allow you to “listen to music directly,” that is, the melody will go directly to the brain, bypassing the ears. Polina believes that this is a story from The Terminator, while Pasha, on the contrary, dreams of transplanting his brain into a robot and waits for 3D printers to start printing organs. Rodion sees a lot of useful things in chipping.

30:15 - about how to lend and ask for money. Pavel tells how he was once working off a loan. Polina recalls how she returned the money she gave to her friend. And Rodion was taught by bitter experience: he does not lend, and he does not take.

45:05 - about accepting your body. Our young listener hates his own appearance and asks the hosts if they had the same feeling in their teens and how they dealt with it. Polina gives a lot of useful recommendations.

50:40 - the traditional heading "Soviets". Rodion has watched almost all films with Tom Hanks from collections Lifehacker, started the series "Cheeky", Completed the second season of the series"Star Trek: Discovery». And I have almost finished reading "Manhood" by Artemy Lebedev.

Pavel recommends a very strange but light series "Monsters of the Corporation" (originally - Corporate) and the video game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

And a film recommendation from Polina - to see "All the money in the world"Ridley Scott.
