Number of Golf Ball Dimples
Most balls on sale today have about 300 to 450 dimples.
There were a few balls having over 500 dimples before. The record holder was a ball with 1,070 dimples -- 414 larger ones (in four different sizes) and 656 pinhead-sized ones. All brands of balls, except one, have even-numbered dimples. The only odd-numbered ball on market is a ball with 333 dimples.
Officially sanctioned balls are designed to be as symmetrical as possible. a ball can have six rows of normal dimples on its equator, and very shallow dimples elsewhere. This asymmetrical design helps the ball self-adjust its spin-axis during the flight. The USGA did not sanction it and changed the rules to ban aerodynamic asymmetrical balls. The ball supplier sued the USGA and the USGA paid U.S. $1.375 million in an out of court settlement.

What is the smallest part of computer?
A Bite.
That's spelled Byte and it is made up of eight bits.
A bit is stored in a flip-flop - or on a hard disk it is a small stretch of iron oxide.
