In what year were cornflakes invented?
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan invented Cornflakes. The story goes that Kellogg was trying to improve the vegetarian diet of his hospital patients. Whilst he was boiling wheat to try to make an easily digestible substitute for bread, Kellogg accidentally left a pot of boiled wheat to stand and become tempered. When it was put through a rolling process, the grains of wheat emerged as large, thin flakes. When the flakes were baked, they became crisp and light, creating the corn flake. He patented his product on 31 May 1884. The cornflake still had a way to go before being perfected. John Kellogg, with his brother Will Keith Kellogg, started the Sanitas Food Company to produce their whole grain cereals around 1897. The brothers argued over the addition of sugar to the cereals, so in 1906, Will started his own company called the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which eventually became the Kellogg Company.
How much is 10000 talents worth?
10,000 talents is worth about 150,000 year's wages.
Here's the calculation:
1 talent = 60 minas
1 mina = 3 month's wages
1 talent = 60 x (3 months' wages) = 180 months' wages
1 talent = 180 months' wages / 12 months in a year = 15 years' wages
1 talent = 15 years' wages
10,000 talents = 150,000 years' wages.
So if a yearly wage is $15,000 (about 40hrs/week at CA min wage ($8/hr)
150,000 year's wages = 2,250,000,000
(Two Billion, Two Hundred Fifty Million dollars US)

How you can do Calibration of voltmeter by potentiometer?
A: The only calibration that a potentiometer is allow to do is on the resistance scale. The reason being is the internal battery looses capability with age so to compensate the pot. will change current available to make the ohmmeter to go to zero when the probes are shorted. To test a volts range then an accurate voltage must be used to verify calibration.
Which search algorithm is best?
The question is a bit too vague for a meaningful answer, it depends on what you are searching and what you are looking for.
For search in an unsorted list, there is no better alternative than the naive algorithm of looking at every single element.
For search in a sorted list (like a phone book sorted on name) binary search is much more efficient.
For string search, like used in biology to find DNA matches, there are dedicated algorithms that deal exclusively with string matching.
For graph search, A* ("A star") is among the better.
For more general search problems there are a whole host of search methods that work better than others in particular domains. But so far, there is no ultimate winner that is best for everything. The best ones are generally custom made for one particular problem, like the best known algorithm for the Travelling Salesman Problem.
