The Hodge Conjecture is probably the most abstract - and therefore the most difficult to understand - of all the Millennium Problems. Learn more about the million-dollar question from my article in 'it magazine' - an art and fashion magazine from Zurich.

Looking for whales in Hermanus, South Africa - one of the premier whale watching locations in the world. The Southern Right Whale is estimated to be growing at 7% per year. If there were 10,000 in 2008 (estimated by National Geographic), in what year will the population reach 6 figures? #tomrocksmaths #whalewatching #southernrightwhale

Penguin and a rainbow - what a glorious combination :). African penguins can swim up to speeds of 12mph, and hold their breath for around 2.5 minutes. If they travel at maximum speed how far can they go underwater? (HINT: you can do this without a calculator by thinking about what proportion of an hour 2.5 minutes equates to). #tomrocksmaths #penguin #rainbow

I made a new friend :). In the wild, elephants may feed for up to 16 hours a day, consuming approximately 300 pounds of food. This gives a rate of 18.75 pounds per hour. A human typically consumes 4 pounds of food per day - meaning we would need to eat all of our meals in under 13 minutes to keep up with an elephant! #tomrocksmaths #elephant #safari
