		<description><![CDATA[A pantograph, first invented in the early 1600s, was used to make exact copies before there were any Xerox machines around. It&#8217;s a simple mechanical device made up of four bars linked together in a parallelogram shape.
Here&#8217;s how it works: by simply tracing an object with the pointer, the pantograph makes a copy larger or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Squaring three-digit numbers is one of the most impressive mental math calculations, and it doesn&#8217;t take a whole lot of effort after you&#8217;ve mastered two-digits.  It&#8217;s like the difference between juggling three balls and five balls.  Most folks (with a bit of practice) can juggle three balls. Five objects, however, is a whole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This neat little trick shortcuts the multiplication process by breaking it into easy chunks that your brain can handle.
