How to tame the Baby Wyvern pet in Crimson Desert

To tame the Baby Wyvern pet in Crimson Desert, players must first acquire the Focused Force Palm ability, which can be obtained in Chapter 9 if missed in Chapter 4. The process begins by locating Wyvern's Cradle in the southwestern region of Deleysia, clearing out Wyvernflame enemies, and ensuring to speak to Shai if involved in the Children of the Woods quest. Players should then ascend stairs in the crater at Wyvern's Cradle, clear a mineral blockage with the Focused Force Palm, retrieve the wyvern egg from the cave, and place it in the central nest made of twigs. After placing the egg, it will shake and glow, and players must interact with it to hatch the Baby Wyvern, which will register as a companion. The Baby Wyvern will hover nearby and is too large to perch on the player's arm. Future updates will allow it to evolve into a mount.

How mathematicians use Minecraft to calculate pi

Mathematicians Molly Lynch and Michael Weselcouch developed a method to approximate the value of pi (π) within the game Minecraft using a probabilistic darts technique. They constructed a circular structure with a radius of 11 blocks surrounded by a square and introduced random events using slimes, which move randomly. By counting the number of slimes killed within the circle compared to the total number killed, they calculated an approximation of π. During their test, they killed 619 slimes, with 508 inside the circular area, yielding an approximation of π ≈ 3.283. They noted that increasing the size of the square and the number of slimes could improve accuracy.
