123 = The Science of Fries and Mounting Sea Level Rise

123 = The Science of Fries and Mounting Sea Level Rise

🍟 Why does the nutritional value of frozen chips change depending on whether they are cooked in an air fryer or in an oven?

⛰️ How large a mountain could we make from 2.2 meters of dredged sea bed (combatting sea level rise in the process)?

🃏And there’ll be some AOB, as easy as 123.


Head to our socials for pics of LIVE MATHS, chip nutritional values, post-Totoro Bec, ESA Souvenirs.

001 = Sizing Shoes and Selling Organs

001 = Sizing Shoes and Selling Organs

Problems featured in this episode: What's the deal with shoe sizes? Buy my body! Re-refridgeration. Nice knick-knacks for nieces. Bec Hill: http://bechillcomedian.com/ Matt Parker: http://standupmaths.com/ CORRECTIONS: 01:04 Matt says "early adapter" when he means "early adopter". But it could be both. It’s a podcast that changes you. 18:08 Bec says "4" instead of "6". Don't worry: the maths was all ok. Phew. 26:22 Bec says "implicit permission" when she means "explicit permission". She will definitely double check before she repurposes any one else's teeth.
