The old man proposed marrying the farmer's daughter to cancel the debt. She was given the choice to pick a pebble from a bag - black meant marriage, white meant freedom but debt remains. However, when she picked she dropped it, mixing with the road pebbles. Realizing the second pebble would determine the first, she revealed both pebbles were black, outsmarting the old man and freeing her father without sacrificing herself.

A split second is an incredibly short period of time, yet our brains process an immense amount of information during that brief moment. Research has found that in just one-tenth of a second, our eyes can take in an entire scene, our brain can recognize objects and faces, and we can make complex decisions. While a split second seems instantaneous, it is enough time for our highly-evolved brains to intake and analyze visual cues that allow for rapid reaction and decision-making.

The document summarizes an extraordinary natural phenomenon known as the morning glory cloud that occurs annually in northern Australia between September and November. The morning glory cloud forms as a wave-shaped cloud up to 3.2 km high and 600-1000 km wide that moves east to west at 40 km/hr, caused by a clash of warm, moist air from the sea sliding over cooler upper layer air. Scientists have traveled to study the unique phenomenon, which also occurs in other locations around the world but does not result in cloud formation like in Australia. Since 1989, hang gliders and paragliders have surfed the cloud waves, which can produce strong turbulence and travel up to 480 km, though it requires careful navigation.
