Edition two

Numbers & Mental Arithmetic

Tricks, number sense and chance in your head

One trick or curiosity a day, why it works, and a timed sixty-second round to make it yours: times 11, percents at the till, the rule of 72, primes, paradoxes, the kitchen, the road, music and nature.

The Numbers & Science of Sport

The body, the ball and the game by the numbers

One moment from sport a day and the knowhow behind it: the body at work, the physics of a ball in flight, reading a game by its numbers, training load, kit and surfaces, and what a season costs.
