As a kid, whenever we went to the Apple Store I'd run to the back to play the demo games on the iMacs. Now, in an absolutely crazy, full-circle moment, my own game @BlackboxPuzzles is one of those games on thousands of iPads in hundreds of Apple Stores around the world.

Starting a campaign to get the crowd booing at the hydration break.
It’s just awful seeing the players ready to play but having to wait for the ads to finish.

While cracking my own puzzles, I stumbled into solving a few big ones. Meet Universal Math: the Clarius Equation ties discrete recursion to quantum ladders, superconductivity, even relativity. One framework, no ad-hoc fixes. Curious? Dive in: clariustrust.org/math #math #physics

Please report "sorry we are experiencing unusually high call volumes" messages, we are testing if firms play this for EVERY call.
If you call a bank, broadband, mobile, credit card, energy, water, sewerage firm, pls take 30s to report it via moneysavingexpert.com/report…
This is our final data collection before we contact the worst offenders (if it's a lie that the volumes are unusual it may well breach the FCA consumer duty) . It's unfair on callers, and unfair on call centre workers who bear the brunt of people's frustrations.
