Today we discuss the world's loneliest number, the term "multiplicative identity" and its relation to rings in Abstract Algebra as well as the prime counting function and how Legendre's Constant came to be the fanciest way to say the number 1.

An account of Clever Hans - the Orloff stallion who, after four years of intensive training with his master Wilhelm von Osten, gave performances in Berlin, Germany in the early 1900s - wowing audiences with his displays of intellect. He seemed able to read German, French, do arithmetic, convert fractions to decimals, identify tones of the musical scale and intervals in C, recognize faces from photos and more. But he was a horse...so how was this possible? Was he a 200 IQ horse? Or was the whole thing a ruse put on for money?
