What's that #Furby doing in the plushies photo? 😆👏

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

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

@gorannewsum.bsky.social somehow I'm not surprised you're on that leaderboard!

@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

Nice rat. Nice scarf too - I think it's now beaten Thiago's one!

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

I didn't go into Sagrada either, simply saw it from the outside, then took a bus tour.

Was there also any unit tests? Could ask a pro dev like my handler to help refactor/fix it?

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
