@Disconnectica_ Not to worry. It may entertain you to see a bunch of my cover art with our name on it: disconnectica.bandcamp.com Ideally it's good to have a unique name though to avoid confusion. Someone suggested Dysconnectica. Yours if you want it. No google hits at all!

yes it just so happened Disconnectica is not an original stage name!! neither when I had to choose the Twitter name (hence the stupid underscore in my @), nor when I first started doing music with that name. I extend my apologies to @RobertCWebb who chose it first

looks like DistroKid turned this into the sad little case of Hurricane from a couple months back

@Disconnectica_ Yep, not to worry, I filled out a form and now our profiles are separate. I guess artists with same name must be fairly common.

@RobertCWebb Oh I just noticed you said that it put under yours, my apologies. I think there's a way to have separate artists with same names on separate accounts? e.g.: there are like a few artists with the names Hurricane, Ali, LMK, and their releases either get also lost or get sorted out

@Disconnectica_ Looks like we chose same name. I've been creating music as Disconnectica for over 2 years soundcloud.com/disconnectica Any chance you'd reconsider? I got a track on Spotify but it was put under your account so I can't access my artist profile. Hope my distro can fix.

#sguquestions are you REALLY that excited about... Bombas socks? And do you have any interesting stories about the advertisers you reject?

We have a variety of mathscots tonight (Haggis, Harry and Tinkle provided by @haggismaths, @RachelandDesign , @ColinTheMathmo) plus geometry made by @RobertCWebb and a fun @MathsJam Shout provided by @OttawaMathsJam!

Tonight we welcome @SirWaffle2 to Melbourne (in her awesome waistcoat!). Sydney Weaver is a world champion Rubik's cube speed solver. Here she is with @RobertCWebb sharing cube ideas.

@ProfBrianCox I had an ESQ-1 and Roland D50 when I was young, and MC500 sequencer. Wanted to get back to it for 20 years and finally got my computer set up now! Been recording new stuff finally. Even put some crazy things on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/robertcwebb

This was always my dream keyboard. I did finally get one, but never really worked out how to go beyond the presets :-)

@glen_bruce @ProfBrianCox @KellNick1 Unless you teach about entropy!

@ProfBrianCox thanks for taking my question re mathematical universe hypothesis at your Melbourne show! You asked what breathes fire into the equations. I guess the fire is also equations! The question already applies anyway between particles and life.

@UniversalQandA what do you think of the mathematical universe hypothesis? That the universe isn't just described my maths, it IS maths.

@UniversalQandA what do you think about black holes spawning child universes? And if so, what does it mean for conservation of energy? Wouldn't each generation have less total energy?

@RichardWiseman If it's a rusty nail, then it will be on the ground. Otherwise 17.5cm?

I just hammered a nail into a tree. The tree grows 5cm each year. How much higher will the nail be in 3.5 years?

@MiltonWilde @DanielAndrewsMP @JacintaAllanMP @VicRoads @ptv_official Milton, you still owe me a huge sum for unpaid wages. You market & sell software containing my work that you haven't paid for. You won't even reply. About half a dozen other past employees of yours ALL claim you still owe them money. When will you pay what you owe?

Could @DanielAndrewsMP & @JacintaAllanmp make things any worse? Let's merge the most inefficient public circus's.🤔@VicRoads circus to merge with @ptv_official circus. 😡 @VicRoads can't manage Roads & Reg & will now join with @ptv_official who can't run Public Transport. 😡😡😡

@haggismaths @cass_lowry @DiscoverAMSI Could see it as 3 intersecting squares. Not a polyhedron because edges only have one face, not two. Also similar to the tetrahemihexahedron, but with 4 triangles missing. software3d.com/Tetrahemi.php

What is the name of this shape? It has 24 faces - it is like the inside of an octahedron @haggismaths #MTBoS @DiscoverAMSI #CHOOSEMATHS

@MelbMathsJam Or maybe even a compound of 5 cubes! All have the same set of edges. Images made using Stella4D software3d.com/Stella.php

We have a marshmallow dodecahedron where every face is a 5-pointed star! (Made by @RobertCWebb)

@MelbMathsJam Or possibly a ditrigonal dodecadodecahedron

@MelbMathsJam Or maybe a great ditrigonal icosidodecahedron

@MelbMathsJam But not a dodecahedron, a small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron

@OttawaMathsJam @MelbMathsJam @G4GCelebration Thanks! Glad you enjoyed Flippant :)

Big thanks to everyone who came out & brought puzzles!, to @MelbMathsJam (Flippant is great!) and to @G4GCelebration for a great math party this Tues. Least blurry photos & a picross-solution-by-correspondence below.

If you're celebrating Martin Gardner today (or you like logical colouring schemes), here's a worksheet we'll be trying out, designed by one of our own! ~1 hour to solve, best solved while chatting.🍻
