Reference excerpt

Scarlett's Magic (born 6 March 2008) is a black spotted tabby F1 Savannah cat from the US, acclaimed by the Guinness World Records as the former world's tallest living domestic cat. The record has since been broken by Arcturus Aldebaran Powers who stands 48.5 cm (19.1 in) tall.

Biography Scarlett's Magic is a Savannah F1 hybrid cat, born on 6 March 2008. She is owned by and lives with the Draper-family as their pet. Her sweet temperament and unusual appearance make her a celebrity at local schools, libraries, and retirement homes in Southern California, US.

Recognition She first achieved a Guinness World Record in 2009 when she measured 41.87 cm (16.48 in) from shoulder to toe. One year later, she broke her own record by growing over one additional inch, measuring 45.9 cm (18.07 in) from shoulder to toe. Her international achievement can be seen on page 155 in the 2011 Guinness Book. In 2010, Scarlett's Magic was also awarded a second Guinness World Record for longest, living, domestic cat (feline) at 108.51 cm (42.72 in) in length and is the first animal to simultaneously hold two Guinness World Records. On 12 March 2010, Scarlett's Magic was awarded the "Key to the City" of Corona, California, US, for her role in the local community and recognition by the Guinness World Records. She has also made several national television appearances including on Live with Regis and Kelly and Animal Planet.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Scarlett's Magic

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Scarlett's Magic claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Scarlett's Magic before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Scarlett's Magic ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Scarlett's Magic

In research: Scarlett's Magic appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Scarlett's Magic in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Scarlett's Magic is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2008 animal births, Animal world record holders, Individual cats in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Scarlett's Magic outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
