It’s hard not to blink, so our fan Sydney B. asked us, how long was the world’s longest staring contest? A couple of years ago, “Stare Master” Stagg and “Eyesore” Fleming stared at each other to see who could last longer without blinking. Stare Master won, holding his eyes open for an unbelievable 40 minutes 59 seconds. But 15 minutes into the contest, their eyes turned red and started shedding tears, so don’t try this at home!

Wee ones: If you blink 5 blinks, what numbers do you say to count them?

Little kids: 4 judges watched the 2 starers to make sure their eyes weren’t blinking. How many judges and starers does that make altogether? Bonus: We blink about 15 times a minute. If you’ve blinked all but 1 of those blinks, how many times have you blinked?

Big kids: Before Stare Master and Eyesore, the world staring record was 17 minutes. By how much did Stare Master’s 41 minutes beat the record? Bonus: Which is faster, 15 blinks a minute or 1,000 blinks an hour?

The sky’s the limit: If one starer lasts 24 minutes longer than the other, and that shorter one lasts only 2/5 as long as the longer one, how long does each one stare?

Answers:

Wee ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Little kids: 6 people. Bonus: 14 times.

Big kids: By 24 minutes. Bonus: 1,000 blinks an hour! 15 per minute comes to 900 in an hour. The sky’s the limit: 16 and 40 minutes. If the shorter starer lasts just 2/5 of the other, then the gap between them (24 minutes) is 3/5 of the longer one’s time. If 24 is 3/5 of something, then a third of 24 is just 1/5 of it. 1/3 of 24 is 8, and 8 x 5 = 40. Sure enough, 2/5 of 40 is 16, and that’s 24 minutes less.

Can you lose weight eating only one meal a day?

Study participants who tried eating one meal a day ended up with less total body fat. This particular group of people didn't experience significant weight loss. That said, intermittent fasting in general has proven to be an effective weight-loss method. The typical weight loss is 7 to 11 pounds over 10 weeks.

The “One Meal a Day” diet, or OMAD diet, claims to help you lose weight by forcing your body to burn fat. It’s a type of intermittent fasting, which alternates between periods throughout the day in which you can eat anything and periods in which you don’t eat at all. OMAD is particularly strict because you don’t eat for 23 hours, then consume all of your calories in a single meal. How It Works Like other kinds of intermittent fasting, eating one meal a day is a way of manipulating how your body finds and uses fuel. When you eat in a more traditional pattern, your energy comes from the food that you eat. When you take in carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into sugars. If you have more sugar in your blood than you need, a chemical called insulin will carry the extra into your fat cells. When you don’t eat for extended periods of time, your body produces less insulin. Your cells still need energy for fuel, so your fat cells release energy to compensate. For this to happen, however, you have to avoid eating for long enough that your insulin levels drop.
