Week #23 of the hijacking of America…
…sorry, a short potpourri this week, as I’ve had too much summer busy-ness this week, while also remaining glued to the Yingying Zhang case in Illinois, where the accused has now been imprisoned, not in Champaign-Urbana, but in my own original hometown of Decatur!
1) Plenty more math to read in latest “Math Teachers At Play” blog:
2) I’ve already instructed all of you to subscribe to Evelyn Lamb’s monthly “TinyLetter,” so I’m not even going to inform you that this month’s edition is here. ;)
3) The best way to play “Hangman” (h/t Dave Richeson):
4) Alex Bellos’ Monday puzzle (he knows you always get more hits if you put a cat in the puzzle ;):
5) More math gems from Jo Morgan:
6) And to take up the rest of your time, another wonderful post from Brian Hayes, this time exploring the pecking-chickens-in-a-circle problem that went around recently:

ADDENDUM: The newest "Carnival of Mathematics" came out after I posted the potpourri, so don't mind adding it here:

Potpourri BONUS! (extra NON-mathematical links of interest):
1) Last week’s TED Radio Hour was all about space (with Brian Greene, Phil Plait, and Jill Tarter):
2) …and keeping with a sciencey theme, plenty of cool essays from the FQXi Essay Contest winners:
