Pure water doesn't conduct electricity. Instead, this effect comes from various impurities it contains under normal circumstances.

Dude, learn to chemistry. Water molecules partially dissociate into H+ and OH- ions even for pure water. And because of this, pure water actually has higher conductivity than water with trace atmospheric gases such as CO2 that inhibit this dissociation of water molecules. Overall, pure H2O with no trace gases has a conductivity of about 0.12 mS/m, compared to 5 - 50 mS/m for ordinary drinking water (or ~5000 mS/m for salt water).
Distilled or deionized water still contains trace gases, so its conductivity is only about 0.01 mS/m because of reduced dissociation, but that's not pure water.

The anagram part is the reason why he brought it up in the first place. He wouldn't have brought up the simple arithmetic equation if it weren't for it.
>Something equally interesting is that in multiplication, you can move a number of decimal places wherever you want and still get the same product of two lists of numbers: 65*.23 = 23*.65 = 6.5*2.3
To trivialize the novelty (I'm sorry, but the mathematician in me was triggered by your post), it's much clearer if you write everything in terms of scientific notation
65*.23
> 6.5*(10^2)*2.3*(10^-2) = 6.5*2.3
23*.65
> 2.3*(10^2)*6.5*(10^-2) = 6.5*2.3
You can move the decimal place over in one number as as many times in the opposite of the opposite direction to get the same effect (to nullify each magnitude of 10 to revert back to neutral position).
Ex.
.0000065 * 2300000
> 6.5*(10^-6) *2.3*(10^6) = 6.5*2.3
This is the principle characteristic of an EQUATION. Both sides have to be equal to each other. So you can multiple whatever by however much you want, as long as the other product term is evened out by it to maintain an true equation

>>4524824
Yes, bits of them are angled. Otherwise they wouldn't be laminar flow wings. They'd be flat.
Regardless, lift is almost completely linear to angle of attack until near the stall point. So no AoA = no lift. This is the same for laminar flow wings or other types, the laminar flow wings are just better at generating lift for small angles of attack with little drag.
