Girls and boys solve math problems differently – with similar short-term results but different long-term outcomes The reasons are not yet fully understood, but researchers consider societal influences that encourage greater compliance among girls as a potential cause.

this one is of especial interest to me!

Remarkably* clear exposition!

Find an 8 digit calculator word (rotate 180° and read the digits as letters) whose middle four digits (without rotation) are consecutive integers.

I believe there is a unique solution and/but would be happy to be proved wrong!

in the other direction, are there capital numbers, like capital letters. also a good [gosh darn] question

I did this for the month of October. And halver (as least) my pre Oct amount since. Found I had to get adrenaline going in other ways, not sure what was ultimately better for me.

Spotted these words separately but ultimate Fri #2solve used a long time fave of mine for its first word!!

oh it's double posted, ok i'll leave both up to race

@ me? # caffeine? yeah

some of y'all will claim 2 pi = 1 tau 🤨
but i'm out here looking at 2 tau like

ττ

math classes emphasize sum and difference formulae for sine i.e. sin(x+y), sin(x-y) yet rarely broach the multiple angle formulae for products e.g. sin(xy). not sure if this is just a sign of the times.

lotta math classes teach about completing the square without ever asking why the square felt incomplete in the first place 😔
