- [Mount Fuji: 3,776 m, the 1707 eruption and the 2026 climbing rules](https://mariuscomper.uk/muntele-fuji/en/): Japan's highest mountain, 3,776 m: its last eruption in 1707–08, Hokusai's print, the four trails and the 2026 climbing rules, with a clock that shows where sunrise finds you. In Romanian, English and Chinese.
- [Chess and xiangqi (Chinese chess): one army on two boards, compared piece by piece](https://mariuscomper.uk/sah-si-xiangqi/en/): Chess and xiangqi set out the same army: chariot, horse, elephant, counsellor, king. Pick a piece and see its move on three boards: shatranj, the medieval game, chess today and xiangqi. The medieval bishop reached 8 of 64 squares; the xiangqi elephant reaches 7 of 90 points. With the names of the pieces in 31 languages and a ten-move quiz. In Romanian, English and Chinese.
- [Skip a stone across a lake. How many bounces can you make?](https://mariuscomper.uk/piatra-pe-apa/en/): A game that follows the laws of physics: skip a stone across a drawn lake and count the bounces. What matters (tilt, spin, speed), what a Latin author wrote about the same game about 1,800 years ago, and the world record: 88 bounces.
- [Your body next to a chimpanzee’s: what each difference is for, and why your legs are older than your brain](https://mariuscomper.uk/what-your-body-is-for/): A walking skeleton changes from a chimpanzee to a human through three fossils: legs and feet change first, the brain last. Then, part by part: walking that costs you a quarter of a chimpanzee’s oxygen, the Achilles tendon, sweat glands, the throwing shoulder, the thumb, the face, birth, and the chin nobody can explain.
- [Which animals would beat you over 100 metres?](https://mariuscomper.uk/cine-te-intrece/en/): Compare a 100-metre race with animal speeds. The times and scenarios use different assumptions; the simulation does not predict your performance.
- [Smaranda Braescu: homologated record 6,929 m, then a false name](https://mariuscomper.uk/smaranda-braescu/en/): The Sacramento jump of 19 May 1932: compare the announced 24,000 ft reading with the 22,733 ft value reported as homologated. The project preserves differences between accounts.
- [Nadia: From the First 10 to Seven](https://mariuscomper.uk/nadia-zece/en/): Nadia Comăneci received seven perfect scores at Montreal 1976. Follow the events of 18–22 July, learn why the scoreboard showed 1.00, and see Romania’s women’s artistic gymnastics medals from 1976 to 2024.
- [Walking is controlled falling](https://mariuscomper.uk/mersul-ca-un-pendul/en/): In walking, the body passes over the stance foot like an inverted pendulum and recovers about 65% of external mechanical energy. Measure your walk and see where its Froude number lands.
- [Five Hundred and Eighty Calories per Gram: The Extreme Biophysics of Sweat and the Human Heat Engine](https://mariuscomper.uk/cinci-sute-optzeci-de-calorii/en/): Which part of sweat cools your body, and why evaporation matters. The thermal model is idealised; it does not estimate a safe exercise time.
- [Eleven Joules at the Heel](https://mariuscomper.uk/tendonul-arcului/en/): An in-vivo study measured 11.3 J of propulsive recoil at 3.5 m/s; the historical 35 J figure is 3.1 times larger, but it does not describe the same measurement.
- [Hadrian's Wall, mile by mile: what survives and where to stop](https://mariuscomper.uk/hadrians-wall/en/): An end-to-end guide to Hadrian's Wall with its measured elevation profile, forts, milecastles, turrets and car-free connections, together with the limits of the available data.
- [Skiing in Romania 2025–2026: Poiana, Sinaia, Păltiniș, Azuga, Bușcat — passes, verdict](https://mariuscomper.uk/schi-romania/en/): 5 ski areas compared: 1-day pass, slope count, night skiing and measured access from Bucharest, Brașov, Sibiu, Cluj. Official 2025–2026 prices.
- [Via Transilvanica 2026: planner — 8 lands, gates, GPX, free guides](https://mariuscomper.uk/via-transilvanica/en/): How to plan Via Transilvanica: Maior Putna–Drobeta 1,392.8 km measured, 8 lands with dated GPX, free guides, 3 gates with measured road access.
- [FCSB Is Not Steaua](https://fcsb-nu-e-steaua.mariuscomper.uk/en/): A satirical arcade game about a seven-second delay, five live shows and the reflex to say “Steaua” instead of FCSB.
- [Pep Guardiola · Trophy Cosmos](https://pepguardiola2026.mariuscomper.uk/): A visualisation of 41 major trophies in Pep Guardiola’s career, in the May 2026 edition. The total depends on the date and the competitions included.
- [Forty-five out of three hundred and ten](https://mariuscomper.uk/scara/en/): Follow 310 teenagers in the 2016 FIDE lists: 45 remain active in August 2026 under the standard-chess FIDE definition. Registry inactivity does not prove that someone stopped playing chess.
