Following the 24 Hour
Maths Magic Show two years ago, this coming weekend brings the 24 Hour Maths
Game Show! Starting at 7pm on Friday 28 October there will be 24 hours of
mathematicians presenting mathematical games, or games about mathematics.
For details of the stellar line-up and the exciting fun in prospect see the event website. The event is raising money for four excellent
charities - Beat Eating Disorders, the Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation, the Disasters
Emergency Committee, and the Malala Fund: donations to one or more on the event Just
Giving page.
I have
the coveted Saturday morning 8:30-9am slot UK time (which is prime time for
viewers in some part of the world) and I’ll be talking about the Hypergame
paradox and how I trapped two students into starting a game which may go on for ever. (There is a happy ending.)
