THE VERY FIRST STEP

Physiologists Alanda Lennox and Allen Goodship found an explanation for this paradox in 2008. They discovered that pregnant bears were able to increase the density of their bones before they started to build their dens. In addition, six months later, when they finally emerged from the den with their cubs, there was no evidence of significant loss of bone density. Hibernating brown bears do not have this capacity and must therefore resort to major bone reformation in the following spring. If the mechanism of bone remodelling in polar bears can be understood, many bedridden humans, and even astronauts, could potentially benefit.

The medical benefits of the polar bear for humanity certainly have their importance in our conservation efforts, but these should not be the only factors taken into consideration. We tend to want to protect animals we think are intelligent and possess emotions, such as elephants and primates. Bears, on the other hand, seem to be perceived as stupid and in many cases violent. And yet anecdotal evidence from the field challenges those assumptions, suggesting for example that polar bears have good problem-solving abilities. A male bear called GoGo in Tennoji Zoo, Osaka, has even been observed making use of a tool to manipulate his environment. The bear used a tree branch on multiple occasions to dislodge a piece of meat hung out of his reach. Problem-solving ability has also been witnessed in wild polar bears, although not as obviously as with GoGo. A calculated move by a male bear involved running and jumping onto barrels in an attempt to get to a photographer standing on a platform four metres high.

L' omicidio del noto matematico Philip March si propone come un caso difficile per l'ispettore Malvisi. Chi è l'assassino?

Certamente uno dei suoi colleghi, invidiosi della popolarità ottenuta dal professor March. I sospetti sono sette: Debora Livi, Ines Lai, Carla Silvi, Ilaria Vieri, Teresa Mari, Elena Gani e Roberto Mei. L'unico indizio è il numero 13, scritto dal professor March in punto di morte.

Ma qual è il legame tra tale numero e uno dei sospetti?  L'ispettore Malvisi lo ha capito e tu, caro ascoltatore, sarai altrettanto bravo?

Mettiti alla prova e scrivi la soluzione del caso nei commenti, spiegando anche il motivo della tua scelta.
