89: Why are bank holidays so called?
This is something I have never really thought about, but it has cropped up twice in my life this week. The first time was when a friend and I were discussing it. We settled on the idea that it was the banks that enforced it through pressure on the government to ease workload for them. […]

88: How hard is it to have a planned lazy day?
I find it very hard. I struggle to settle when having a lazy day. I like to be doing things instead of not doing things. The problem I have is that niggling thought in the back of my mind that there is a long list of work related jobs that I could be doing. Instead, […]

83: What do all the multiplication tables look like?
Nikola Tesla thought he could create a map showing all the multiplication patterns. Here it is: I love this and will be sharing it immediately with my children! Well, in the morning anyway.

82: What do you do when you are given a 3D printer?
You try your best to get it working! That is what I’ve been working on at work over the last few days – but only in my spare time. The printer is discontinued so parts and things are unavailable. I have a set of tools and a manual to get on with reading. I have […]

81: How do you make a pie-cosahedron?
In pieces. Pies are good. Icosahedrons are good. A cross between the two? That would be amazing. Find the instructions here.
