Know the mystery behind entangled headphones
Had a bad day at college or work?
Want to just rush home and listen to some music to calm yourself?
Well, actually there is actually a mathematical formula that describes exactly how they tangle.
To find out why the headphones get tangled, the researchers used mathematical knot theory to analyze the knots.
They ran 3,415 trials of shaking a headphone in a box and found some interesting results.
If a string is shorter than 46 centimetres, then it will rarely get knotted.
However, the probability of a string getting tangled increases with an increase in the length of the string.
