Thank you, looks like a very likely distribution of topics!

A tiny fraction of a league per eon?

If only their app as an option weren't so terrible (according to the reviews)

Thank you - saw that, and others' replies, and all makes sense! I shouldn't try to do maths before 9am, the number of times I also tell my students not to get bogged down in the algebra if they've not looked at a simple diagram and seen if there's a "simple" geometric explanation!!

Sorry running out of time this morning, and also got stuck so far, nice numbers so 30โฐ and (1, 1, 2)? And 4a+3b+5c=0? But the other one should be solveable but feel like I'm missing something crucial while brain not woken up yet!

So dot product of L2's direction vector with normal to plane is 0, and dot product with L1's direction uses the angle given - feels like it should be possible? Will have to get pen and paper out over breakfast now!

Ah sorry, and the number of times I complain to my students that they haven't read the question!! I'll try again!

All Students Try Cast diagrams and get them wrong...?!

Yes, it's asking for the reflection of the original line in the plane, without saying it in those words!!

Thank you very much, all booked now and looking forward to it!

@tombutton.bsky.social Hi, I just tried booking for the Maths Behind AI sessions, and after I'd filled in the form it said booking had closed - am I too late? Thank you!

Can't believe I've done 851 of these!!

Any chips that aren't fried in with gluten-containing breadcrumbs or batter are a win for me, to be honest!

I like the idea that you might have submitted 19 of the scripts a minute before the July cut-off, and just one a minute later! Still, it's halfway towards buying a Costa!

That's wonderful! Not seen that before!

When I go to emojis on my keyboard, there's a tiny "search" field - typing "pin" in there brought it up for me. I feel there's probably an even easier way than that...?!

Some great advice there! I may pass some of that on to my students too if you don't mind!
