13. The Cardano Awakens

We meet an Italian mathematician who played a huge role in Fermat and Pascal’s Unfinished Game and whose drive shaft is still in use in modern vehicles!  In this episode, we’ll attempt to answer the following questions:

• Does hair really have a life of its own?    
• How can you get a girl in ten…or two…days? 
• What do either of these have to do with math?
