Had enough of the 7 day black and white photo challenge? Good, cause now there's a new meme-type "challenge" going around on steemit, and I got tagged by the brilliant @ruth-girl . So you just might be next!
What's the challenge this time?
As simple as the title says: write five facts about yourself.
Here are five random facts about me, in no particular order. I decided to keep them short and to the point, but I can elaborate on any of them.
1. I am an actual mutant, in a way. I have no wisdom teeth and will never grow them (according to my dentist). It's apparently a genetic thing. I also have no toenails - according to doctors - for the same reason. Weird genetics.
(I am 34, and never had those on my dental xrays)
2. I can speak three languages (Russian, Hebrew and English), but can only write in two. I can probably express myself in writing in Russian, but I rather not as it takes me forever and I sound like a 1st-grader.
3. I have three significant others - @mrlightning , @poet and the prettiest girl on Earth. Yes, three of them. No, it's not easy.
My little family of choice
4. I also have three cats. Two males and a female. I only now noticed my cats and SOs are the same number and sex. And that's weird.
(Top to bottom: Bit, Grey and Kosh)
5. I once posed nude for a world-known photographer. Along with ~1,000 other people. Good luck spotting me in the photos!
And now it's your turn!
Since it's 5 facts, let's make it 5 people to tag (which is also what @ruth-girl did so going with it)! In no particular order:
Share yourself with the steemits!

I know you love math, so math time!
There are four arrangements of 3 sexes, either MMM, MMF, MFF, FFF, since order among them doesn't matter. However, they don't have the same chance of occurrence. MMM and FFF have a 1/8 chance, while MMF and MFF have a 3/8 chance each.
So if you had MMM cats, the chance of also having MMM SOs would be 1/8.
If you had FFF cats, it would be the same 1/8.
For MMF, the chance would be 3/8 of an overlap.
For MFF, again 3/8.
So it can be said there is a 1/4 * 1/8 +6/8 * 3/8 chance of an overlap, which is 31.25% chance of overlap!
Another way to look at it, is that there are 8 arrangements of 3 sexes:
MMM
MMF
MFM
MFF
FMM
FMF
FFM
FFF
For each of those, there are 8 other arrangement of sexes on the other set, so a total of 64 combinations.
The MMM and FFF overlap with only 1 set from the other side.
The other combinations all have 3 matches.
So 2 matches, plus 3*6 = 20 mathches out of 64, 20/64=0.3125, or 31.25% chance.
I love you. Because... you. <3
I have to take a pill for a headache after that :)
But I can not calculate how many pills to take now.
One of the coolest articles that i've read on Steemit. 3 languages, 3 significant others, 3 cats and 3 toes. Awesome :)
I checked and I have 10 toes. Stop confusing me!
This was an interesting post, thanks for sharing! I'm a mutant too, my second and third toes on both of my feet are completely webbed together :) Did you show off your lack of toenails when you were younger? I remember getting a kick out of the reactions to my toes in elementary school haha.
Wow. That's pretty awesome! No, I was always very self-conscious about it. I am a naturist so no problem with people seeing me nude. Just... not the toes.
Haha, please don't tell me, let me guess............. ok, got it I think!
Crocs to match you hair whilst naturist'n.
Spencer Tunic for the photographer.
And I agree with @poet, purely cos he obviously knows what he's on about, so there's none of that having to go through it in your own head, for any double-check it malarkey.
Kinda thinking I might have 3 outta 3 here, although I'll owe @poet 33.333% for his content.
I need to get a second gimp in the cellar that can do math, the one I've got now is only good with his hands, bless him! My accounts are due in the tax office by the end of the month! ;)
Gosh, where do I get one of those? I am not friends with math.
@poet does math (mathematics, sums etc, lol), sorry if I've confused you. Tho I suspect you're pulling my leg.
Getting them isn't really a problem, it's the fact they take a lot of training up!
A busy city centre on a Friday or Saturday is a good time to go gimp searching., otherwise it's some dodgy website online I guess. Fortunately, I've not had to rely on that myself.
Was it Spencer Tunic, the photographer? If so did you take part in the dead sea pics? Amazing photographs.
I've been actively shooting photographers for 35+yrs, so I'm familiar with the works of many of the renowned photographers.
(edit.... shooting photographs, not photographers, heheh)
I can write a bit when I get going and I'm a blues/bluesy musician too, and will be popping in the open mic. So I'm one of those hippy creative types that still dreams about an age of "content is king" :)
Good to see you sticking it to those two moronic neanderthals in suits. And Esiai, oh my. :(
...... and you'll need a cellar of course, if proper training is going to be undertaken. lol
That might be an issue. Have you SEEN the real estate prices in Israel?!
It's nice to know more about you, even though I knew few stuff before - like the fact you a genius (3 languages!!!)
And your beautiful significant others (I really like the term, do you know an equivalent in Hebrew?) I remember from פמיטראש :-)
Hey, you're the genius, I am just good with languages.
Oh, @poet (Itai) is still on פמיטראש while I gave up on it fairly early on. I am just not girly enough for it. :)
Significant others in Hebrew is simply בני זוג
הבעיה שלי היא שכשאני אומרת בן זוג אנשים, בעיקר במגזר הדתי, מסתכלים על זה מוזר, אני נשואה - אבל בחיים לא אגיד בעלי, אז אין לי כלכך פתרון לזה...
כן, בעל זו מילה מעצבנת
In English I just call him "matrimonial significant other". :)
נסי "אישי". האיש שלי. כמו אשתי אבל בזכר
זה יותר טוב, אבל אז משום מה אנשים לא מבינים על מה אני מדברת...
These were all very interesting facts to learn, but I beg you to indulge me with a sixth:
How in the bloody hell do you get your cats to do that?! We have only two, they are individually the sweetest, cuddliest things on earth, and they detest each other in the most awful ways that shall not be named here.
Methinks you are a sorceress.
LOL
They snuggle for heat in the winter. If you can call winter in Israel winter. Also, they've been together since they were tiny so I guess that helps. They do fight and even wound each other, but when there is peace, there's a clowder.
A nude mutant model... I admit you got me surprised :P
Hey, you took the stubborn and whiny as well as overweight as a child, so I had to be original. :)
<3
You certainly raised the competition levels... :*
LOL
What a great challenge! Learned a lot about you.
Pink Owl haha, I thought the whole pic will be pink tho.
3 minutes of work in Canva. I am lazy. :)
Btw, how wisdom teeth are related to toenails?
Evolution. These are things we don't need since we don't climb trees and our jaws have shrunk.
I think you not having wisdom teeth is actually you being more evolved than us lol. I think I read somewhere that eventually no humans will grow wisdom teeth but evolution takes sooo long that only a small part of the population doesn't grow them at this point.
Yeah, I've been told that. I've also been told I might not have an appendix, but I don't know. Waiting for those mail-in DNA tests to get more advanced before I order one in. Should be interesting. I am very genetically versatile, AFAIK. Russian, Jew, Persian, Ukrainian and possibly some other stuff too.
No toenails? Really like just smooth toes? Do you still paint nail varnish on the ends when you wear sandals? :) So interesting.
No, they're kinda like dents in my toes. It's like they try to grow SOMETHING but it's more like skin than nails. And I just wear closed-toe sandals cause it looks too weird.
I am not a mutant. Nor do I have super powers.
In fact after reading your post I feel tired and inadequate and now need a nap. (3?, I have a hard enough time keeping up with 1).
I look forward to following you and seeing what comes next.
Digby sez he is intrigued.
Three naps? Yes please!
Ha! Nice to have found your site, I think. Thanks for the support by the way.
I envy you. You can speak three languages and I can only speak one.
I love cats too.
cat :)
Nice post funny about cats and interesting on the 5 post but
חשיפה מאוד מעניינת אילנה
Really is a challenge that looks wonderful
We may see people with the same facts
Or strange facts
This challenge wants a lot of audacity to enjoy
Thank you @techslut
Wow! Now I can wright you comments on Russian :)Russian is my native language.
Absolutely. I can read it and speak it. I've been known to speak about social media and technology on Israel's Russian channel - channel 9.
Cool. My English active English vocabulary and it is not easy for my wright creatively. Отлично!Ты очень многогранный человек, такие люди редко всетречаются.
Thank you! I am a bit of a weirdo and one-of-a-kind. But the world can't handle 2 of me so it's all good. :)
Я пытаюсь разобраться как работает Стиммит б кто такие свидетели и дельфины. Весь мир Стиммита для меня непонятен , так как я не очень продвинутым в плане технологий человек. И криптовалюте я впервые услышала в Августе 2017 года , и про Стиим узнала только в Ноябре.Мне несколько не комфортно в крипто мире и я хочу адаптироваться, по возможности безболезненно, так как вижу что жизнь очень сильно и очень изменися . Изначально я видела Стиммит как платформу для крипто-новостей и блогов, а сейчас я вижу что и остальные направления
интересов людей здесь тоже востребованны.Мне чочется учавствовать в создании нового мира Стиммита, но пока мне не понятны его правила и телодвижения :) Заранее благодарна за объянения.
Well, it's pretty complicated. Steemit is about communities, content and engagement. Find a community to belong to - artists, women or other Russian speakers. It helps to have people explain all this mess to you bit by bit as you encounter it. Ask specific questions in post comments on steemit topic. And read. A lot. To be honest, there's a lot I don't understand myself and so I continue to learn as well.
If you have any specific questions, I can try and help. Are you on Discord anywhere?
Yes, I am Discodr in steemusa, minnowboosters, slothicorn and few othe rgroups. I am mostly looking for contest to get more exposure , so far it is my plan, cause I do not know other ways to do it :)
That sure is one hell of fact list. Che kak dela, Ilana?^^
Thank you for sharing! I love this new challenge, as we get to know so much more about eachother :)
btw, lucky you with no wisdome teeth! I had to take all 4 of mine out XP
Ouch! I hate dental stuff so thank you for that, evolution!
OMG, I remember that photographer who came for taking nude photos at The Dead Sea.
You were there!!! it's amazing.
Yeah, also got interviewed about it in lots of places. :)
I love these fun facts about you! And honestly, that is so cool that you did a nude photo shoot with...1000 or so people. I don't think I have the nerve but I do remember reading that article and thinking Well, all right! Woot!
It was mostly really exhausting and I had to be awake all night as the shot was at sunrise, and dead sea salt is just not something you want in your sensitive areas so... yeah. Hard work that was.
Being awake at sunrise wouldn't be too difficult for me because I usually head to bed at that time but salt in the sensitive spots... I shiver to think about it! I can't even remember a time when I participated in group nakedness. I would do it at least once but hubby doesn't even let me see him naked. LOL He's so adorable.
No toenails? I demand to see a photo of your feet :P
No, you kinky man! :P
For science!
I know someone whose toes are melded into one another from birth. I am a curious person. Like a cat :3
lol
Lucky you, I had my wisdom teeth pulled and it was one of the worst experiences of my life! I'm also a dog person, i have a 6 year old dog who just had surgery, I'm blogging about it actually:

Anyhow, this is the first post i've read of yours, I liked it and I'm following you, I look forward to your future posts!
I have a 15-year-old cat with a tumor. You got my upvote. But just a quick note - instead of reposting the same thing in a bunch of languages, why not focus on promoting a single post really hard? There are plenty ways to promote posts like discord channels and even people actively looking for charities on steemit. Spamming your profile the way you do does not encourage following. Just FYI.
Thanks for the insight @techslut. Unfortunately, figuring out how everything works on steem is not the easiest process if you know what I mean lol. I'll certainly look into it more though because I don't doubt what you are saying. Thanks!
Just trying to help. :)
And good health to your dog!
And I'm terribly sorry about your cat, I hope she lives her life as peacefully as she can until it's her time.
He. And so far he's still the fluffy terrorist he is.
My bad, he! :)
very nice challenge I will definitely participate
amazing! definitely takes guts to do that nude photo shoot.
No, just patience and tolerance for dead sea salts in sensitive places. My body is just that. A vessel. Nudity is natural to me.
5 - But can you spot yourself?!
Yes as I remember where I stood. :)
I love the word polyglot, btw. It sounds like you're struggling with a glut of languages but the word also brings to mind images of frogs. And don't get me started on the all those g sounds.
LOL
Polyglut - eats too much of everything! :P
Hey @techslut, can you help me get some reach here. I have been continuously adding quality content on Steemit but getting no upvotes. It's kindda frustrating to me. I m thinking to say Goodbye to this community.
Are you on the Israeli steemit Facebook group? Whatsapp group? Discord? How about other communities that are niche specific and can help you get ahead?
Posting content is half the work, at least for minnows. Me, I got a following of 1500 and a few orcas and a whale or two. So I don't have to invest in promotion, but I used to go around all the postpromotion channels everywhere and dump my stuff.
Well, I felt good with your comment, I know good things take time so gonna keep working hard on writing as well as promotions too. Sure will join the facebook group. :)
את אישה מהממת!
לאן טסים??
I don't travel well.
I do not know why, but I have difficulty with self-disclosure.
I need some time, to sit with myself and close this topic,
I'm mad at myself right now.
Aw, @nirgf, don't be mad at yourself. I'm boycotting this Reveal 5 Facts about me, too.
Not that I have anything to hide. Just... what five things would I tell, and who'd wanna know?
maybe it's cynicism from a lifetime of sharing cool facts with people (or things I read, true or fiction), and being told "Nobody cares" and being dismissed as a geek-nerd lover of science and history.
You have my permission to dodge the challenge. :-)
NICE
very cute idea to write such short facts)
It's great you will never suffer from wisdom teeth!)
cats are so sweet)
very unusual and brave photos!)
@techslut I read both you and your husband's 5 fact, Its really nice and funny. Happy couples, the cats are so sleepy enjoying the sleepiness.
Ha - That is great. I need to do one of these.
Do it! Or just write down the idea and do it on a day you have nothing better to post. :)
