Math at the Movies: x+y

Well, this was a pain in the backside to edit. The film is so tawdry and dull that we kept getting lost on tangents. Fear not though faithful listener, Thomas has edited the two hours of guff down to a single hour of solid... bronze.

Today's discussion points include: 

• How should you flip a mattress?
• Does the culture you grow up in influence how you learn maths?
• BUMFIT!

From our mouths to your ears, enjoy!
