The embedded video is excellent

It’s good to see a mathematician who can communicate with mere mortals !

I like a good doughnut and was interested to see that even rational folk like mathematicians get tattoos!

(Did you know it means "return to quarters"?)

Watched with avid attention, so good I did not notice how long it was.

Thanks for that Michael, thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You wonder why nobody has asked the question before even if they didn't have the wherewithal to solve it.

Cheers

Have you been doing the Guardian crossword?! The tattoo/return to quarters thing cropped up as a clue a day or two ago; I didn't know that!

Nor did I until I did the crossword!

Very interesting, I am not a good enough mathematician to have ever thought of it.
