Count Your Hairs
How to calculate the number of hairs you have?
Dr. Elizabeth and Dr. Thomas sat in their study, discussing an unusual question.
“Can we calculate how many hairs are on a person’s head?” Dr. Elizabeth asked.
Dr Thomas scratched his head, “Let’s estimate the average hair density per inch and multiply it by the scalp area.”
“But what about different hair thicknesses?” Dr. Elizabeth added, intrigued.
They dove into research, measuring hair strands and considering growth cycles. After weeks of calculations, they had an answer.
“About 100,000 hairs,” Dr. Elizabeth announced with a smile.
Nodding, Dr. Thomas was impressed. They delighted at science and discovery in their little study.

My USA Shopping Adventure
Everything I saw at Dollar Tree was priced at one dollar. Cups, water bottles, toothbrushes, and toothpaste all cost $1. Surprisingly, an economy-size large bottle of shampoo, moisturizer, detergent, and a pack of pencils, erasers, staplers, paint colors, and tissue paper are all the same. I bought a lot of items for a few dollars. This was my first trip to the United States in 2014.
