Gas prices could rise due to the conflict with Iran. Alvaro Gonzalez/Getty Images Brent crude opened Thursday at $67.83 a barrel, down more than $13 from the high of $81 last week, after traders decided the Iran-Israel ceasefire will probably keep the Strait of Hormuz open. It follows US President Donald Trump delivering an all-caps message about oil prices on Monday, less than a day after US and Israeli forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites.

If you've noticed your TV and internet bills going up, you're not alone. Recent JD Power data shows that internet and TV bundles have increased for the first quarter of 2025. What's most surprising is that only unbundled Internet bills saw a slight decrease. Finding ways to cut back on monthly bills can feel nearly impossible, especially when there's an increase every few months. But it's possible.

A new pyramid-like shape always lands the same side up

In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces.
