President Obama makes a cable television appearance tonight, delegating a special science project to the hosts of The Discovery Channel’s MythBusters.
The assignment: Could ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes really have set an invading Roman ship on fire by reflecting the sun’s rays off of mirrors?
“Figure this out and report back to me,” the President tells the hosts.
The broadcast is 9 p.m. tonight, eastern time.

This is our President’s nerdy side. Love it. I like science too!

I watched the show and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our President said his lines so well and he sparkled. The show was very interesting.
