Scientists are such kill-joys...

Scientists have come up with a formula for taking penalties that, if followed correctly, has a 100% success rate. The shot should be 65mph, you need a run-up of five to six paces from the edge of the area, approach the ball at an angle of 20 to 30 degrees and the ball must cross the goal-line at exactly 0.5m below the crossbar and the same distance inside the post.

Hopefully, this wont work for footballers anyway as most of them dont have enough brain cells to know how many steps is 5 to 6 paces is let alone how far 20-30 degrees is lol

Also, Millions of us are teased and frustrated every day by sudoku number puzzles.

But American computer scientist James Crook has published a foolproof system which critics say takes the fun out of it all.

In a nine-page theory on the American Mathematical Society's website, he says the solution can be reached by following five logical steps.

Uff.
