    👋 When microwaving food, should you place it in the centre, or off to the side?

    📐 Does the longest diagonal in a 1m sided cube in 4D square equal root 4?

    🐨 And there’s some Bonus Other Business.


    Head to our socials to see Bec’s Photographic Exhibition of Australian Wildlife, Cubie the Moon Rover, Bec’s Poppadom Experiment, Matt’s Pythagorean Whiteboard Action, and the first glimpse of the most confusing game of Connect 4 ever to be played. A surprisingly visual audio podcast… so it’s all happening over on BlueSky / Twitter / Instagram
