ENOUGH ROPE with Andrew Denton - About the Show An email Andrew sent in August 2002, outlining his early vision for ENOUGH ROPE, included this: "Will sometimes feature just one guest, but only if the talent warrants. Will stand clearly apart from the news and current affairs agenda of the week. Will trust the old maxim that the best television is two talking heads having a great conversation. Will not - absolutely WILL NOT - be a plug-a-thon for anyone's latest book, movie or CD. Will not be afraid to be funny. Will not be afraid not to. Will give a forum to (outrageous) ideas without being judgemental. Will challenge people to think. And then challenge their thinking." in Media > Movies and TV showswith 2002abcaffairsagendaandrewcelebritiescelebrityenoughguestinterviewinterviewsnewsropetalenttalkingtelevision
Euler Played Sudoku Too! - Dr Ian Wanless Maths lecture I went to on Sudoku. Eighteenth century Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler was prolific in every sense. He fathered 13 children and probably just as many branches of mathematics. One of his many legacies is the name "Latin square" to describe a matrix in which each row and column forms a permutation of the numbers 1,2,3,...,n. He was the original Sudoku addict! Like Euler, Ian Wanless discovered that playing with Latin squares is fun a long time before it became fashionable. In this colloquium he will explain some of his recent extensions of Euler's fundamental discoveries. in Educational > Mathematicswith eulerguestlatrobelecturemathematicalmathematiciansmathematicssudokuuniversity
