@andrewhunterm.bsky.social There's what feels like a slightly odd fact; Zener diodes and Zener cards are both well known in their fields (electronics and psychology) but they were invented by different Zeners.

@jackbern.bsky.social It's just struck me that Greg's giant ball game is quite like the ball on a string exercise he did with his students - could the production team be that quick? (nearly said "on the ball").

@richardosman1.bsky.social I'd offer the Beatles as having the greatest golden streak 1963-1970. 17 number 1 singles, 11 number 1 albums and they won an Oscar!

@richardosman1.bsky.social I have two questions for the Entertainment podcast! For The Unbelievable Truth; who writes the contestants' essays?
Secondly, will the BBC continue to show the Horrible History parodies of Masterchef?

Ages are often named after monarchs - Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian. When the Queen was on the throne, it was the "New Elizabethan era" - what's the term now we have King Charles?

@bazzacollins.bsky.social I've just read your column about the big thing in cars is supporting Android Auto. You might be interested that when I rented a Merc A class, the AA wasn't working. I asked at a dealership and they charge £500 to turn it on.

@richardosman1.bsky.social The story about the married couple reminded me of this; a Greek lady was asked who made the decisions. She said her husband decided the important things: should Greece be in Nato? Or in the EU? She decided unimportant things; how the family was fed and clothed.

@alexhorne.bsky.social in the cinema task, I wondered how the total chairs could be 333 - there must be an even number of "regular" chairs as they're arranged in a rectangle, then 5 little chairs on the stage and, of course, the one the contestant was sitting in. So I think the total should be 334.

@jackbern.bsky.social possible blooper in TM episode 10. Alex said there were 333 seats in the cinema, but I think that doesn't count the contestant's chair! It should be 334.
