 2022-10-27 
It's a while since I've put a new blog post here. This is partly because I've been busy working on other exciting maths projects. One of these exciting projects is happening tomorrow: the 24 Hour Maths Game Show.
Two years ago, I helped run the 24 Hour Maths Magic Show. Two years on, we've decided to do it again, but this time the show will feature 24 hours of content about games, including mathematical game shows, game theory, board games, and video games. The full schedule for the show is at 24hourmaths.com/gameshow, and you can watch it for free on YouTube. If for some reason you want to just watch the bits featuring me, I'll be on the show doing the following (all times in BST/UTC+1):
I'd recommend watching as much of the show as you can; the whole thing is going to be amazing. A recording of the whole thing will be available afterwards if you can't stay away for the whole lot. The show is raising money for four excellent charities, so throw some money their way if you enjoy the show.
After you've watched the show, keep an eye out for the next issue of Chalkdust, which is due out in the next few weeks. And it's not long until there'll be a post here about this year's Advent calendar...
Edit: Added links to watch recordings of each segment.
