Fans of scandalous gossip (and TV channel Dave’s recent foray into maths based light entertainment, Dara O Briain’s School of Hard Sums) will be interested to note the following tweet from Marcus Du Sautoy:
“@pip6390: Is there another series of school of math in the pipe line?” yes! Filming in the new year.

This presumably refers to the show mentioned above, which featured Marcus as a maths question/task-master, providing both fiendish puzzles and mathematical insight – but who knows? People say all kinds of things on Twitter.
Would you be interested to see another series? Which puzzles would you include? Comments below.
The 100 hats problem would work well. You could have the comedian out running around with hats. But would Daire have heard of it?
