Manchester are on the tables we are always on, under the stairs opposite the bar - 3 people so far, mainly chatting about furnituremoving, dice and mice.

Exeter MathsJam is returning next week in a new, much more central location: the Imperial, only a few minutes' walk from St Davids! Please email exeter@mathsjam.com if you're interested, so we know how many to expect.

At least this is a more family-friendly problem than Fermat.

Dividing it into 16 is easier mathematically, but a 3x5 array fits into a rectangular pan better than a 4x4 array. What to do? My household may be getting daily batches of buns while this one gets sorted out (but they are unlikely to complain).

Still doing maths even though Sydney Mathsjam is over for the month. Here is the problem of the day. Christmas decorations are away ... so it is time to make Easter buns. The recipe says "divide the dough into 15 portions".

Sydney Mathsjam is solving some puzzles that were found under the Christmas tree. Caged Marbles and IQ twins from Smart Games. What did you get from Santa?

The three faces of this larger hexaflakesagon (we have a theory that two of them are the same because there's a reflection symmetry in the design; if the design has too much symmetry they would all look the same)

Photo of a paper shape on the table - it's a hexagonal snowflake cut from multiple thicknesses of paper. Nearby there's a pint glass and a paper chain made from Mobius bands
