@edent @stecks Hi - sadly I don't think Patreon currently has a way to gift a subscription, sorry!

@stecks @aPaulTaylor is it possible to gift a subscription to someone?

If you're looking for something fun to fill the cold winter nights, I produce a monthly word, number and logic puzzle sheet with @aPaulTaylor - sign up for £2/4 a month at patreon.com/puzzlebomb (next sheet comes out tomorrow - and it's a tough one!)

@icecolbeveridge @nicole_cozens @MathsJam It was me! Not sure how much sense the slides make on their own but they're here: docs.google.com/presentation/u…

@nicole_cozens And I’ve a vague idea there’s something you can do with GI and the dragon curve — I can’t remember who talked about it at Big @MathsJam one time, but it might have been @aPaulTaylor.

Gaussian integers and pythagorean triples! Who knew? (Probably lots of people especially including me a couple of decades ago...) The good thing about forgetting stuff you studied is that relearning it makes it super fascinating! #lovemyjob Complex numbers are awesome...

Only Connect question editor @DavidJMcGaughey has written about #onlyconnect Series 16: qqq.vc/oc16thoughts

@colinjthomas Thanks! And congratulations on the 🏆 - very well deserved!

@thedollyinahat twitter.com/FrizFrizzle/st…

Can someone confirm: are the weird introductory facts about the contestants actually true on #onlyconnect ?!?!

Tomorrow we're on the telly again, for the semi-final of Only Connect! BBC2, 8pm. Time to face the formidable Lindsay + double Alans! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@colinjthomas Ah great news, I look forward to re-solving it! (Sadly my crossword productivity has taken a major dive during lockdown so nothing's coming up from me...)

@colinjthomas Thanks! Now we've mostly stopped buying the paper we never remember to look at the winners, so we didn't realise until my Dad told us...

@Hedzie @stecks 👍 no problem, we'll stall!

@stecks @aPaulTaylor Hi guys, Ali just needed me to let you know he might be 5 mins late for the 3.30 meeting. He's driving and we're stuck in traffic about 35 mins from home.

@colinjthomas Thanks! Afraid I can't take credit for the title though: an excellent suggestion from @proXimalBoz

I set today's Listener Crossword. Bank Holiday lockdown weekend is clearly the perfect time to take up solving unnecessarily convoluted crosswords. (Also available in staying-in friendly PDF form.)

@xwd_bot Cistern

Ripple crest in water tank (7)

@FrizFrizzle Don't want to post spoilers so I'll just say my solution uses the letters CDEEEEEEIIIINRRRSUVVW. @XwdInATweet thanks you for the tribute

@xwd_bot Lessons

Morals from relentless onslaught (7)

I set this crossword, which you can buy in the i today or tomorrow even though that's not how newspapers work. Plus it's only like a pound or something and probably has some other bits in too

@xwd_bot potently

Powerfully adapted to plenty (8)

@xwd_bot Floor

Flimsy roof covering the last interglacial level (5)

I set this puzzle for the Crossword Centre: ℹ️ It's free! ℹ️ It's not too difficult I think! (as far as these things go) ℹ️ You can win an actual real prize!
