Why do an eye and pyramid appear on the one dollar bill?

Interesting question! Over the years, many conspiracy theorists have hypothesized that the eye and pyramid represent the preeminent symbols of the Illuminati. The Illuminati is said to be a secret organization of global elites who are working to enslave the whole world. Conspiracy theorists believe that the All-Seeing Eye represents the eye of Horus or Lucifer.


The uncapped pyramid is said to represent an unfinished order of business: the Old World Order has yet to be destroyed; thus, it stands in the way of the New World Order ("Novus Ordo Seclorum" on the one dollar bill). Conspiracy theorists also believe that the thirteen steps of the pyramid represent the thirteen bloodlines of the Illuminati that have pledged allegiance to Lucifer. Despite these claims, other experts believe that the truth is a little less exciting.


It was Franklin Delano Roosevelt (the 32nd President of the United States) who commissioned the eye and pyramid to be included on the dollar bill in 1935. The original eye and pyramid was first included in the back of the United States Great Seal in 1782. The thirteen steps of the pyramid signified that America was yet an unfinished nation. Perhaps the thirteen steps represented the first thirteen colonies of the United States.


For Franklin Roosevelt (who was a Mason), the eye represented the all-seeing eye of Providence or what Masons call The Great Architect. The accompanying words "Annuit Coeptis" translates as "God has favored our undertakings." On the pyramid, the Roman numerals MDCCLXXVI represent the advent of the United States in 1776. (M=1000 D= 500 C=100 L=50 X=10 VI=6). Roosevelt was impressed with the idea of the all-seeing eye of God presiding over the affairs of the United States, so he commissioned the eye and pyramid to be included on the one dollar bill.


While conspiracy theorists claim that, as a Mason, Franklin Roosevelt was part of the Illuminati effort to enslave the whole world, the truth is that the president just appreciated what the symbols represented. He simply liked the idea of an all-seeing Providence presiding over the affairs of an unfinished nation.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

A man has a garden measuring 84 meters by 56 meters. He divides it into the minimum number of square plots. What is the length of the square plots?

We wish to divide this man's garden into the minimum number of square plots possible. A square has all four sides with the same length.Our garden is a rectangle, so the answer is clearly not 1 square plot. If we choose the wrong length for our squares, we may end up with missing holes or we may not be able to fit our squares inside the garden. So we have 84 meters in one direction and 56 meters in the other direction. When we start dividing the garden in square plots, we are "filling" those lengths in their respective directions. At each direction, there must be an integer number of squares (otherwise, we get holes or we leave the garden), so that all the square plots fill up the garden nicely. Thus, our job here is to find the greatest common divisor of 84 and 56. For this, we prime factor both of them: `56 = 2*2*2*7` `84 = 2*2*3*7` We can see that the prime factors and multiplicities in common are `2*2*7 = 28` . This is the desired length of the square plots. If you wi...
