America’s favorite cocktail The secret is in the salt. The original margarita contained only three ingredients: 1 ounce of Cointreau, 2 ounces of blanco tequila and 1 ounce of fresh lime juice—with salt around the rim and a lime garnish. Subtle sips of salt sweeten the sourness of the drink. Margaritas are easily customizable to cater to any taste and season. With Margarita Day falling in February, try our recipe with a seasonal twist:

No, not the food The decimal form of the irrational number pi is never-ending and nonrepeating—it goes on forever. In 2015, Guinness World Records recognized Rajveer Meena from Vellore, India, as the record holder for reciting the most digits of pi. He went up to 70,000 digits while blindfolded. But pi isn’t just an infinite decimal. In 2005, artist and mathematician John Sims set out to find a way to balance math and art by creating quilts that speak to the power of patterns in pi.

Wearable art London-based Sotheby’s held its first auction in 1744, making it the oldest fine art auctioneer in the world. These days, it embodies the latest trends and brings in more than $4 billion annually. In 2019, the auction house began holding online sneakers auctions, and it now operates an online sneakers tab with a collection ranging from Nike limited editions to shoes worn and signed by big-name athletes. Its site includes Adidas Yeezys and Louis Vuitton. In May of 2020, Sotheby’s set the world record for a sneaker sale with Michael Jordan’s game-worn, autographed Nike Air Jordan 1s from 1985 for $560,000. The sale surpassed the previous sneaker auction record of $437,500 set at Sotheby’s in July 2019 for the Nike Waffle Racing Flat “Moon Shoe.” Sneakers may soon bring millions of dollars at auction. Experts estimate the value of the earliest known Michael Jordan regular-season game-worn shoes, a pair of Nike Air Ships, at $1.5 million.
