LEGO DIFFERENCE ENGINE -- You could be forgiven for thinking this Rube Goldberg device looks a bit of a mess, because it does. But it’s a mess that can evaluate second-order polynomial equations to three digits of precision, so unless you’re a real math whiz, that probably makes it a mess that’s smarter than you. Known as a “difference engine,” it’s based on plans concocted by 19th century mathematician and engineer Charles Babbage, who died before he could build one of his own. If only he’d had some Lego.
