A statement from the BBC on what happened to me in Shanghai last night while doing my job.
I understand at least one local national was arrested after trying to stop the police from beating me.
Thanks very much for the kind words and messages of concern. https://twitter.com/bbcnewspr/status/1597000489513537536

Bob was given 30 distinct natural numbers. He wrote down all the 435 pairwise sums. It appears that among those sums, 230 are divisible by 3. How many of the original 30 numbers are divisible by 3?

I'm really happy today! A bunch of my best math/physics friend on Twitter are now here on Mastodon!
In this thread I'll introduce you to some of them. If you like my stuff - explanations of math, physics, and related things - you may like my friends, too.
Let me start listing some... I don't know the best way to do this, so it may take a couple of tries.
(If I left you out, it could be just my forgetfulness.)

One of the quirks of professional mathematics is that researchers are discouraged from speculating too far beyond the range of what they can actually prove. To quote Minhyong Kim (from https://mathoverflow.net/a/38694/766): "it's almost as though definite mathematical results are money in the bank. After you've built up some savings, you can afford to spend a bit by philosophizing. But then, you can't let the balance get too low because people will start looking at you in funny, suspicious ways."
