Love his William Holman Hunt allegorical painting for Turing's 1936 paper in which he invents the universal computer, which runs on a single infinitely long piece of tape. I believe the two figures bowing at his feet are the muses of logic and engineering.

Here are four ways I’ve found to solve an nxnxn cube to embed a trefoil knot. Five layers is the smallest cube I’ve been able to put this knot on. On a 9cube, I’ve found solutions that use 2 colors of thread, 2 faces, and a solution that leaves the reverse side solved as solid colors.

What is the most cited mathematical paper?

Sad to be missing #informs this year, but something came up…

When my daughter was 6yo, she figured out that thing where you sneakily stick a note on someone’s back.

But she didn’t know the notes should say things like “kick me.” Instead, she would put space facts on them. She was really into outer space at the time.

One time I felt something on my back, then heard her run off giggling. I reached around, peeled off the little post-it, and found this:
