Rhino walk in Zambia. Such beautiful creatures <3 We go again with another fantastic 20 essays for you to enjoy in the 2026 TRM Essay Showcase. You can look forward to drunken walks, African drum patterns, Sheldon Cooper’s “Friendship Algorithm”, and random world generation in video games. Chasing waterfalls at Victoria Falls. SIMPLY INCREDIBLE. And even better as a fluid dynamicist. COVER REVEAL - How Many Pikachus Would It Take To Power A Lightbulb? Almost 400 essays in but the quality just keeps on coming! Learn about a mathematic model for weight loss, the classic puzzle of the monkey and the coconuts, why 37 is the most popular random number less than 100, and the perfection of Arabic letters. Where does the French Baccalaureate General rank on my tier list of exams I’ve taken from around the world? THE BIG TREE. Exploring Victoria Falls on foot and making friends with warthogs. Welcome to Zimbabwe :) How does the French Baccalauréat Général rank on my tier list of maths exams from around the world? Hiking in Pretoria was one of the most surreal experiences I’ve ever had - being this close to wildlife is just <3 Exploring Sterkfontein caves where “little foot” was found and excavated over a 20-year period. The second image shows the gate to the still active excavation site. The essays are back once again with group 19 and the usual pick ‘n mix of fascinating topics. Learn about the maths of oil painting, how phantom traffic jams occur, the magic of magic squares, and the maths involved with baking a sponge cake. Sunrise walk in the bush featuring a close encounter with some wild giraffe. They ran away at first but then came back to say hello as their curiosity got the better of them.
