How Long Would It Take To “Catch ’em All”? The Maths of Pokémon

Follow TOM ROCKS MATHS on WordPress.com
A few snaps from exploring Amsterdam, including the coolest “city archives” building in the world. That tiling pattern alone is magnificently mathematical! How long would it actually take to “catch ‘em all”? I’ve done the maths. Beginning Amsterdam adventures with a tour of the original @heineken brewery purchased in 1864 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken. Too many talks to keep count this past week! Sneak preview of the live recording of my audiobook for “How Many Pikachus Would It Take To Power A Lightbulb?” - pre-order your copy now! Yerevan appreciation post - such a fun city with some incredible art and beautiful views from the cascade. Thanks for having me @bbcradio4 - such a pleasure to chat all things Lord of the Rings and Frodo’s insurance policy with Tim Harford on More or Less. Back in Belfast for @mathsireland visiting 4 schools across 2 days. TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!! Shoutout to the brilliant students at St Dominic’s Sixth Form for being such an enthusiastic audience today as we calculated the blast radius of the Death Star. Symphony of the Stones at Garni Gorge in Armenia 🇦🇲 LOOK AT ALL THOSE PEOPLE!!
