(1/2)+(1/4)+(1/8)+(1/16)+(1/32)+...=1

An infinite surface area can enclose a finite volume.

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" It is to your advantage to switch your choice.

10! seconds is exactly six weeks.

If you properly shuffle a deck of cards, chances are the order in that deck has never been seen before.

Given a solid ball in 3dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the original ball. This is known as the Banach-Tarski paradox.
