Whilst In Lockdown,

boredom takes many forms,

 yesterday I mentioned making model engines as a way to past the time, but here is another way to pass the hours, 

 one Vietnamese mathematics student recently spent a day meticulously extracting every single seed from a piece of dragon fruit and presenting her finding online, “So far, I found out that in a piece of dragon fruit weighing 13,867g (height: 46mm, length: 32mm) has up to 245 seeds and that, on average, a seed weighs 0.0045322449g ,” the student wrote on Facebook,

 “I was bored, so…” the young woman explained, when people started asking her why she went through the trouble of counting hundreds of tiny seeds,

 as strange as it may sound, counting fruit seeds has become quite popular during the ongoing social distancing lifestyle imposed in many countries, 

 because of the coronavirus pandemic, social media is full of photos of strawberries, 

and dragon fruits with all their tiny seeds that people have picked out and counted out of boredom, I think I will stick with making the engine models!
