Ever since that infamous bottle flipping video earlier this year, it seems flipping bottles around is all the kids are doing now.
Year 5 teacher Lauren Hinton admitted annoying at first, when students got into the craze.
“It’s noisy, it’s distracting and because they use the reusable plastic bottles, they often crack so it becomes messy,” she told the ABC.
But then she had a idea: What if she could teach mathematics to her students by disguising it with a viral fad? Delightfully devilish.

Microsoft brings good news for Android Office users: you can now save and update your Office files on more cloud storage platforms like Dropbox.

December is already off to a good start, it seems. Microsoft announced today that its Cloud Storage Partner Program is now available for those who use Office apps on Android devices. This means that you can now edit, store, and update your Office files not only on OneDrive but also other cloud storage providers’ apps. As of now, Microsoft Office on Android supports Dropbox, Box, Egnyte, and 腾讯微云 (Tencent). The company says that it will be adding more support in the near future, in particular Citrix ShareFile, Edmodo, and Learnium.
This means that you can now edit, store, and update your Office files not only on OneDrive but also other cloud storage providers’ apps.
The Cloud Storage Partner Program has been available on iOS devices for quite some time now, so it’s good to see that Android is also getting some love. All you have to do is add your preferred cloud storage provider from the Add a place menu in the latest versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Android. Essentially, you will be able to save your files on that platform, launch files from that platform, and any change will be automatically saved back on that platform.
Although the company assures that the list will continue to expand over time, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Google Drive excluded from that. After all, by allowing users to create Microsoft Office files and share, edit, and store them on various cloud storages, the company is, in some ways, competing directly with Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets.
Will you be taking advantage of this new feature? Or will you be sticking with Google Drive for now? Let us know by dropping a comment down below!

They will all look the same when your eyes are covered.
Google’s put the Crimson and Snow colors of the Daydream View headset up for pre-order at the device store today. Shipping starts December 8 and the price — $79 US — is the same as the gray version that was already available.
For that matter, everything else is the same, too. You’ll need to have a Daydream compatible phone — right now that means the Pixel or a Moto Z that’s been upgraded to Android 7 — an active Google account to install the stuff needed from Google Play, and some free time in an uncrowded room.
A spirit of adventure helps, too. Check ’em out at the link below.
