Use old socks or shirts that you don't wear anymore. The fabric will prevent the box spring or mattress from rubbing against the bed frame and squeaking. Check the bed frame for any spaces where the mattress or box spring could potentially move and rub against the frame. Stick cork into the gaps so every component of the bed is firmly in place. A leg is uneven if it doesn't touch the floor. Put a towel in the space between the leg and the floor so the bed frame doesn't wobble and make noise. If the squeak is coming from one of the slats, remove the mattress and box spring and place a book on the squeaking slat. Move the mattress and box spring back onto the bed frame.

Summary: Line the slats on the bed frame with old clothes. Use cork to fill in gaps if you have a wooden bed frame. Slip a towel under any uneven legs on the bed frame. Put a book under the mattress near the source of the squeak.

Pi, it turns out, also has a place in an interesting thought experiment called Buffon's Needle Problem, which seeks to determine the likelihood that randomly tossed uniform elongated objects will land either between or crossing a series of parallel lines on the floor. It turns out that if the distance between the lines is the same as the length of the tossed objects, the number of times the objects land across the lines out of a large number of throws can be used to calculate pi. Check out the above WikiHow article link for a fun breakdown of this experiment using thrown food. Scientists and mathematicians have not figured out a way to calculate pi exactly, since they have not been able to find a material so thin that it will work to find exact calculations.
Summary: Try this experiment to calculate pi by throwing hotdogs.
