Still time to join the Granny Life community math/art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com !
My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

My friend showed me this daily web game: Which Year? It shows five photos, and you have to guess the year for each one. You can get four free digits with no penalty, but each digit can be used only once (in other words, you can get the thousands, hundreds, tens, or ones each only once). whichyr.com
Which Year - Photo Year Guessing Game
Guess the year real-world photos were taken. Test your history knowledge with a daily challenge featuring a new set of photos each day.

At the TMiP conference in August, we announced the winner of this year's MEGA Grant - Christian Lawson-Perfect will be creating beautiful aperiodic tilings in the sand, as part of the #BeachSpectres project. Christian's write-up is here: aperiodical.com/2025... More info at http://tmip.uk/mega-...
Let’s go to the beach and make an aperiodic tiling!
Somehow, I’ve been awarded the MEGA grant, from Matt Parker and Talking Maths in Public, for a ridiculous public maths project. I’d better get on that, then! My plan is to go to the bea…

Next part of the layout for the www.grannysquarecrochet.com project. Trying to keep things balanced with local strategies: put similar colors a knight’s move apart rather than same row/column, keep similar patterns away from each other, try to bring down bright colors using neighboring colors

Yesterday's Granny Life crochet-a-long inspired 2 new "pro tips" for making beautiful squares:
1. Twist the yarns just before the corner 2ch, to make it easier to catch carried yarn later.
2. It helps to make your hdc crochet stitches a little "tall".

After trying a lot of local rules for symmetry and other things, in the end I think the best strategy is to make sure things that are close together don’t have colors or patterns that are (1) too similar or (2) too different (?). Thoughts on arrangements? www.grannylifecrochet.com

Neat discovery: Two knots whose connected sum has an unknotting number less than the sum of the unknotting numbers of the knots. This provides a counterexample to an old conjecture.

Just came across this guy on tiktok who plays connect4 with random people on the street and I know it’s a joke, yet this person is doing more to ground himself in his environment, connect (ha) with the people around him, while getting the people he plays with to take a micro break in their day 🥲

Math nerds and crafty geeks! You are invited to crochet a granny square based on a cellular automaton for the Granny Life project at www.grannylifecrochet.com.
Your work could end up in an art exhibit in Paris! There are plenty of motifs still available to claim :)
