This episode we have special guest Ralph Crewe (Writer/Producer, Practical Engineering) who gets exhausted trying to explain continuous breathing, Julian mulls over the least pointy thing (shout out to Pod 007) and Trace takes a Mayan Bak-tun to explain why the heck there are 60 minutes in an hour.

QUESTIONS

Trace: "Are there other systems of timekeeping besides Hours/Minutes/Seconds?" from Julian

Ralph: "Can we evolve or engineer ourselves to breathe continuously?" from Henry in Singapore

Julian: "What is the least-pointy thing?" from Ralph
