Feel inside your drugs
If we own the night, then spread it out
Or pack up without a clue"

Q: I’m going to give you a series of numbers and ask you what the next number in the series is. Here are the numbers: 4, 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 60 and then X. Here is a hint. You may notice all the numbers I’ve given you are even numbers. Here’s another hint. The number after the number I’m looking for is 102. What is the number?

Q: In the early 1960's, NASA was sending electronic gear into outer space on unmanned missions. They'd already sent a guy into space but they wanted to make sure that if they were going to send people up for longer flights, that they had a chance of surviving. NASA sent this electronic gear up to test a variety of things like radiation exposure, and so on. The equipment kept failing, but they couldn't figure out why. Finally, someone determined that the circuits were overheating, so they installed a fan to cool off the devices. But the problems persisted. Why?

A: On those early, unmanned flights they didn't pressurize the cabins. And there's no air in outer space. And if there's no air to blow around, a fan won't do squat.
