My mathematics blog I am still pumping up with reposted material. But I also ran across a couple cute things about arithmetic trivia regarding the number 2022 and you might like that, maybe. Here's some recently-published stuff:


Back to the tour of the Wonderland of Lights!

Approaching the felines-and-primates house, with this nice outlining to give it shape in the dark.

We went past this festooned tree.

Big mood there, lemur.

And here's a couple of porcupines who were in the house because ?? ???? ????? ??? ?? (the zoo cares not for strict literalism in what's inside their houses) and snuggling.

More of a pair of porcupines enjoying one another's company.

Meanwhile, here's a feline.


Trivia: Public opinion surveys through 1922 and 1923 showed that, should he choose to run for president, Henry Ford would beat any likely opponent. Source: Ford: The Men and the Machine, Robert Lacey. (Warren Harding's death put an end to the Ford-for-President bubble.)

Currently Reading: Miscellaneous comic books sent me by a friend. So there's this Archie comic where an alien device transmogrifies Archie and Reggie into dogs. And they can speak, English to them, but dog-speak to everyone else --- including to one another, because Reggie and Archie don't know how to interpret dog-speak. So that's a twist on the turned-to-animals and the animals-understand-people-but-not-vice-versa gimmick I don't remember seeing before.
