Blink research deemed IgNobel.

Blink research deemed IgNobel. :

"Australians Nic Svenson and Dr Piers Barnes have found that to take a photo of a group with fewer than 20 people, dividing the number of people by three gives the number of shots needed."

The IgNobels awarded by Harvard University are not only a lot of fun, they actually come up with scientific research to combat a lot of our daily dilemmas...like how to get a decent group phots. I bet the award evening is a real hoot and it has to be the sort of lightening up scientific researchers need to be able to deal with some of their more serious research projects. My personal favourite is the rectal massage to cure persistent hiccoughs!
