While captive orangutans learn to use tools, wild orangutans have not been observed doing so until recently when researchers witnessed orangutans near Suaq Balimbing in Sumatra using tools to extract insects from tree holes and seeds from the Neesia fruitWhat explains this population's tool use? It is doubtful that the Suaq orangutans are intrinsically smarter: captive orangutans have demonstrated that the species has the brain capacity to use tools. Another explanation is environmental. While previously studied orangutans mostly inhabited dry forests, the Suaq orangutans inhabit a lush swamp where insects flourish in tree holes and Neesia fruit is abundant. However, orangutans in other habitats where Neesia grows do harvest the seeds, but without tools they obtain fewer than do the Suaq orangutans.

Like Germany, but unlike other European nations, Norway industrialized rather late in the nineteenth century. Compared to Germany, however, Norway has a comparatively  recent  history of industrially based social classes and a much longer history of rather egalitarian class relations. The origin of Norwegian egalitarian predates industrialism and the rise of the labor movement. The preindustrial economy was based largely on a small independent  peasantry who combined agriculture with fishing (in the north) or with forestry (in the south). Because Norway was under foreign rule for five centuries until 1905, and because the topography is unfavorable for large estates, a strong aristocracy and landowner class did not emerge in most  of Norway. There were some exceptions to this pattern, especially in the southern regions   where a landowner class did exist. Norway’s early social and economic history engendered egalitarianism, although, as has been pointed out by several observers, it was an equality of poverty.

What is the least positive integer b such that the equation $x^2$ +bx +18 =0 has two integer solutions for x?

In an attempt to reduce the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles, the city of Fiera imposed a curfew requiring juveniles—everyone younger than eighteen—to be indoors between the hours of 11 P.M. and 6 A M. In the two years since the curfew was imposed, the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles in Fiera has fallen by almost ten percent. Clearly, therefore, the curfew has proven effective at reducing violent juvenile crime.
