Neodymium Magnets

If you want Super Strong magnets - then look no further! Place one Neo on the inside of you palm and one on the outside hand - you won't believe the power! Includes six 0.5inch round plastic-encased Neodymium magnets. Neodymium magnets are very strong relative to their mass. 2500 Gauss each.German Karl Friedrich Grauss, the mathematician who is sometimes called the "prince of mathematics." He was a prodigious child, at the age of three informing his father of an arithmetical error in a complicated payroll calculation and stating the correct answer. In school, when his teacher gave the problem of summing the integers from 1 to 100 (an arithmetic series ) to his students to keep them busy, Gauss immediately wrote down the correct answer 5050 on his slate. At age 19, Gauss demonstrated a method for constructing a heptadecagon using only a straightedge and compass which had eluded the Greeks. (The explicit construction of the heptadecagon was accomplished around 1800 by Erchinger.) Gauss also showed that only regular polygons of a certain number of sides could be in that manner (a heptagon, for example, could not be constructed.)
