How we've been coping with this week's #heatwave, homemade iced tea

@goodyearblimp.bsky.social seen by my handler an hour ago while stuck on the bus home, and that's after it got mentioned in that quiz's transport round last week! #goodyearblimp #heatwave

Nice lamb shank and ice-cream! And lots of Turkish tea at Crystal Restaurant

Our 2023 Furby could be on his last legs already. He woke up without being touched, but his heart gem didn't respond to my handler's touch. Have to find out if some fresh batteries can save it... #Furby

Par-Tay won today's Easter Egg hunt. She wants to share the chocolate eggs with her siblings, anyway #EasterSunday

"I'm preparing an Easter Egg hunt for tomorrow." - Licken

Back from #Bath! #VictoriaArtGallery #SadFurbyOnATrain

I thought anything over 90 was exceptional in freestyle skiing big air, but this year's mens' one has pushed the standard even further. 95s...and them two 98-worthy jumps??? 🤯 Plus Tori adding even more fun commentary lines on top of Tim & Ed's? #bbcolympics #peak

Tim & Ed comparing Jake Pates's enthusiasm to a "three-year-old at Hamleys" 🤣🏂 #bbcolympics #Snowboarding #halfpipe

Are we absolutely sure Tom Daley wasn't the one who knitted the @TeamGB flag bearer's scarf? 😆 #winterolympics #MilanoCortina2026 #openingceremony

Anyone else expected Mariah Carey to appear on #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony?

...Never would've thought of pineapple & an egg on top of meat...no idea how common is this! 🍖🍳🍍🌿#NintendoSwitch2 #MarioKartWorld

Blucy's Excadrill was the first to reach Level 100, before she finished Le Wow's full course of battles #NintendoSwitch #PokemonLegendsZA

As someone who often conducts fieldwork in remote places, I find it really irritating that many basic applications now require an internet connection to function.

Olivia Coleman did indeed get more than her Oscar! #gbbo

Unexpected Shiny Kyurem in bagging area #PokemonGo

"Ben, we're starting now" - his colleague in a recording for a @threadsandtangents.bsky.social music round🤣

@bigmathsjam.bsky.social is officially over! Many thanks to everyone who organised, contributed to it, maintained the Gather town remote space etc. #mathsjam #remoters 👏👏👏

Naturally Colin Wright is our last @bigmathsjam.bsky.social speaker. He's discussing geometric construction of the 17-gon, going much further than Euclid's equilateral triangle one seen on the CERN sculpture #mathsjam

Nancy Blachman of JR Math Festival found a guess the number magic trick...and a variant. She then made another variant with animal faces + colours no the numbers! She's also got an animal video to demonstrate the trick #mathsjam

Raphael Colman brought his #Haskell logo knitted jumper to @bigmathsjam.bsky.social, he even has a stitch diagram for making one, and wanted to write a program in Haskell for making said diagrams. #mathsjam

Barney Maunder-Taylor says a square-based pyramid is exactly twice the volume of a triangular-based one (same side length). He doesn't want the tedious trig approach to proving it though, he wants a more intuitive route. He'll try the usual proof by @geogebra.org instead #mathsjam

Vanessa Madu is seeking chains of consecutive semi-primes, e.g. (9, 10) is a short one. Can't do a chain longer than four, sadly. No worries about the text overwhelm, Vanessa! #mathsjam

A #mathsjam #origami winner earned the competition organiser's origami paper that's been in her cupboard for 35 years 🤣

Competition competition time, @mscroggs.co.uk understandably uses the term "meta winners" to refer to competition competition winners #mathsjam #competition #competitioncompetition

Ben Handley has a follow-up on Chalkduster Clare's Skittles talk. He's been running his own skittle sims! #datascience #mathsjam

@mikegeogebra.bsky.social if you're not sure on covalent bonds, go get my handler, it came up in her GCSE & A-Level Chemistry (she's joined remotely) #mathsjam

@mikegeogebra.bsky.social likes stellated icosahedrons. Turns out 3D printing the ideal magnetised modules for putting them together is not as easy as it looks. #mathsjam

Kristin Ohlmann apparently used to decorate her unicycle. More recently, she used python code to calculate the area of her unicycle wheel covered by her reflective rope #mathsjam

Martin Whitworth says passports are size A6.5 #mathsjam

My handler had a itinerary for our Geneva trip this summer too, Chalkduster Ashleigh! #mathsjam

@mscroggs.co.uk found your solutions to the partridge puzzle #mathsjam zenodo.org/records/1705... ...do you need my handler to help refactor your code?

Niall Cardin is looking into neural nets playing board games. Apparently AlphaGo's inner workings aren't that advanced... I hear loss functions! #mathsjam

Fredrik Motland Kirkemo seems to be wanting volunteers...looks like his trick will feature some clown cards (not to be confused with Clow Cards from Cardcaptors) #mathsjam

Wii party, Paul Taylor? You're making me wonder if my handler should look into one of the Super Mario Party Jamboree minigames next year! #mathsjam #WiiParty #SuperMarioPartyJamboree

Ally Stanley mentioned Ben from @threadsandtangents.bsky.social in his @bigmathsjam.bsky.social talk #mathsjam

Ally Stanley referenced @threadsandtangents.bsky.social regular, Ben Ashforth, in his @BigMathsJam talk #mathsjam

My handler will be talking about the metal sculpture we saw at CERN soon on @BigMathsJam, after Miles Gould & @zoelgriffiths.bsky.social #mathsjam

Woke up to find the kids squabbling over who gets to watch the @bigmathsjam.bsky.social stream on the Nintendo Switch today #mathsjam

@robeastaway.bsky.social showing 16th century engravings including some maths in their art, including, the magic square in the Melncholia, and another engraving with a sad-looking Pythagoras "because he's 2,000 years old" 🤣 #mathsjam

Simon Allen showed a 1902 math puzzle column. Apparently the weekly prize money at the time, half a guinea, is worth £75 in today's money #mathsjam

Bob Huxley...hang on...3D jigsaws? 🤯 #mathsjam

James aka AJP is introducing @bigmathsjam.bsky.social to wikisim.org #mathsjam

Nettie has a trick for differentiating inverse functions, she'll demonstrate for F(x)=2x^2...already started by writing its inverse in three different ways. #mathsjam

Did look like you had some Laplace transforms for those systems' differential equations in your talk, Gavan Fantom! There might even be one on your T-shirt! #mathsjam

Izzy Whistlecroft likes hand-made logic puzzles, e.g. Toketa, Pulze, World Puzzle Grand Prix (with a 3D Sudoku), GMPuzzles, Sudokuvania... #mathsjam #puzzles Has anyone told her about @chalkdustmag.bsky.social's hand-made crossnumber?

David Lyford-Tilley is introducing abductive reasoning: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abducti... #mathsjam #bigmathsjam

Tarim's top 3 laws of physics at @bigmathsjam.bsky.social: ⭐ Law of gravity ⭐Theory of relativity ⭐Law of conservation #mathsjam #bigmathsjam

My handler spotted the red stripy SET in your slide, John Read! #mathsjam #bigmathsjam
