A McNugget number is the total number of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets in any number of boxes. In the United Kingdom, the original boxes (prior to the introduction of the Happy Meal-sized nugget boxes) were of 6, 9, and 20 nuggets.

According to Schur's theorem, since 6, 9, and 20 are relatively prime, any sufficiently large integer can be expressed as a linear combination of these three. Therefore, there exists a largest non-McNugget number, and all integers larger than it are McNugget numbers.

History [edit]

The software and website were developed in 1994 by Cunningham in order to make the exchange of ideas between programmers easier. The concept was based on the ideas developed in HyperCard stacks that Cunningham built in the late 1980s.[1][2][3] On March 25, 1995, he installed the software on his company's (Cunningham & Cunningham) website, c2.com. Cunningham came up with the name WikiWikiWeb because he remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee who told him to take the Wiki Wiki Shuttle, a shuttle bus line that runs between the airport's terminals. "Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of "wiki", a Hawaiian language word for "quick".[4] Cunningham's idea was to make WikiWikiWeb's pages quickly editable by its users, so he initially thought about calling it "QuickWeb", but later changed his mind and dubbed it "WikiWikiWeb".

The Wiki Wiki Shuttle is a fare-free shuttle bus system at the Honolulu International Airport. Shuttles run between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm local time, carrying people and baggage between the various terminals.

In the Hawaiian language the word "wiki" means quick, and "wiki wiki" means very quick. The shuttle's name inspired Ward Cunningham to call his new website "WikiWikiWeb" in 1994.[1] Cunningham's site was designed to allow visitors to the site to edit its content, and this type of website came to be known as a "wiki", a prominent example of which is Wikipedia.

Black Volga (Polish: czarna wołga) refers to an urban legend widespread in Poland, Hungary, Russia,[1] Belarus, Ukraine, Greece and Mongolia,[2] mainly in the 1960s and 1970s.[3][4][5][6] It was about a black (or in some versions red[1]) Volga limousine that was allegedly used to abduct people, especially children.[citation needed] According to different versions, it was driven by priests, nuns, Jews, vampires, satanists or Satan himself.[citation needed] The car is described as having white wheel rims, white curtains or other white elements.[citation needed]

Children were kidnapped to use their blood as a cure for rich Westerners or Arabs[2] suffering from leukemia; other variants used organ theft as the motive, combining it with another famous legend about kidney theft by the KGB. The legend surfaced again in the late 20th century, with a BMW or Mercedes car taking the Volga's place, sometimes depicted with horns instead of wing mirrors. He could also have three numbers "6" on the license plate.[citation needed] In this version, the driver would ask passers-by for the time and kill them when they approached the car to answer. In another version of the legend, the victim would die at the same time a day later. (The driver says: "Tomorrow you will die at this hour".) However, there was an effective defense method. When the driver asks you: "What time is it?", You must answer: "It is God's time". Then the car will leave quickly.[citation needed]

Adolf Hitler is an antagonist who appears in the animated TV show Captain Planet. He is the dictator of Nazi Germany and attempts to rule the world. Though he had only one appearance on the show, he could symbolize hatred itself, considering the fact Captain Planet was actually weakened by his stare.
