Is it Mars, Venus, the moon, or the sun? The French title of this video is "Who wants to win a neuron?" You could beat this guy (and you can get the gist of this clip) even if you don't speak French. Via Just Elite

1-Equally stupid as the french guy
2-Empty and senseless
3-Even more stupid
Yeah i like the world i reaaaally like it hahah, one guy telling shit because he/it doesnt know a pre-school question and other guys telling elementary school stuff to explain the relations between matter hahah i like it
Most people don't have a clue about anything in space.... and yes that includes what orbits what. (or even what orbiting really is)
it is a little bit embarrassing to explain and i'm not even sure i'm allowed to do so, i don't know if there's any kind of clearance on this type of info...
the candidates are casted : if you're a ph.d. and you show up to earn some easy bucks they'll give you a polite "ok, but go fuck yourself please"... the smarter and educated you are, the more chance you have to make big money and it's certainly not an option for a tv producer... moreover dumb people are good for audience... so the contestants are casted to ressemble to their target : very popular, not educated, tv-smarts not booksmarts... still, if they are more stupid than your audience, it's better because cruelty works...
the french people who wants something more hardcore will look at "questions pour un champion" (question for a champion) which exists since the 80's... there you will see brutal smartasses capable of telling in which year heiddegger theorized the dasein, who are specialists of cucurbitaceae, the elizabethan era, or whatever... but what you will win is a bunch of encyclopedias, not a million euro...
this may sound pretty much cynical but, hey, it's TV show designed to sell mass-advertisement, not a GNO =)

These are just spherical neodymium magnets.
Rather than spheres, "weakly" magnetized 1/8" - 3/16" cubical magnets are the best choice for this. Be sure to get a perfect cube. (K&J magnetics sells them in cubic quantities, even!)
Oh yes! I was thinking that as Well!
Also: This is going to the top of my xmas list.
Dagnabbit... thanks to you I just ordered 100 1/8" cubes from K&J.
The rubber coated ones seem even cooler but far more expensive.
The magnetic fields of magnetic balls are concentrated more at the poles than disc or block magnets. These balls are great for experimentation and magic tricks and are just plain fascinating to play with.
Neocube is consisted of hundreds of individual strong neodymium balls.
You can create huge number of shapes and models according to your imagination by this amazing Neocube.
Neocube is wonderfully suitable for experiments and combining with other magnets.
No one who comes into contact with these magnets ever wants to give them back. These small but very powerful Neocube inevitably arouse a sense of play.
The more, the better.

Happy Cubing!
After looking up those mentioned and several (including wholesalers) I found on my own, I believe that the CyberCube is the best value for your money.
I tried to buy a bulk lot from a wholesaler before searching for the cheapest set available.
In my search of wholesalers the best one I found was Indigo.com. They unfortunately do not sell sphere magnets and if they did I SUSPECT that it would still be cheaper to buy a set of 216 or 343 magnets from a place like BukcyBalls or NeoCube or CyberCube, but they have good deals on other magnets and scientific equipment - I searched for hours. I believe that they have the cheapest prisms on the web (trianlge-shaped pieces of glass that let you see around corners or show the full spectrum of light).
For instance, you can buy 64 (which is 4x4) nickle-coated neodymium N42 cube magnets that are 5mm x 5mm x 5mm, for only $11.52 .
You should email me.
We are official dealer of the cubes.
