Cheltenham were also enjoying the annecdotes and logic puzzles in Raymond Smullyanβ€˜s β€œThe Godelian Puzzle bookβ€œ. I also recommended Douglas Hofstadter’s book β€œGodel, Escher, Bach…” - well known to those of a certain age, but new to our younger members.

Congratulations to our member Max who has just gained his maths degree and hopes now to be attending more regularly. We also discussed Matt Parker’s latest show (we liked it), Cornu spirals and Phasor diagrams.

After a bit of a break, Tacoma MathsJam is back in force. Had a great time, looking at dominoes, and asking similar questions about rectangular triominoes. In honor of the Shouts authors, someone brought a book they had been gifted but not yet explored.

Play Pips, our new dominoes game for all skill levels. Every domino has a spot. Can you find where each belongs?

Manchester: we've been playing with the domino puzzles in the Shout, and found the fun Easter egg (we think!) and also it reminded us of Pips: https://www.nytimes.com/games/pips
