?? Horses, Golf, and Greyhounds

This is the weekly newsletter from the team at Refreshing - hoping to cheer up your Friday and leave you some numbers for the weekend.

48%?-??Percentage of the public who think that restaurants should have to display the calorie content of all food and drinks on their menu.?

1839?-?Year that the first Grand National horse race took place. It attracted a field of 17 runners. This year's?race is on Saturday when 40 riders will line up.?

70,000?-??Number of digits of pi that the world memory record holder, Rajveer Meena, managed to remember. He reeled them off wearing a blindfold - it took him more than nine hours to do it.

$2,000,000?-??Amount in cash that drug lord Pablo Escobar once burned to keep himself warm.?

3 billion?-??Number of litres of water lost each day to leaky pipes in the UK.

£1.57 million?-??Prize money for the winner of The Masters golf which takes place this weekend. Despite the large purse and glittering line-up, food for the crowds is surprisingly cheap (the traditional pimento cheese sandwich?costs?just $3). All food, coffee, and drinks are served in green wrappers and cups so any rubbish dropped is camouflaged in the grass and doesn't show up on TV.

45 mph?-??Top speed of a greyhound. They can easily run at speeds in excess of 35 mph for seven miles, meaning they'd start to leave a cheetah in their dust after just 30 seconds ...?when a cheetah can run no more.?
