Tonight's Bletchley & MK @MathsJam was the best-attended in quite a while (7 people!) and, true to form, I was too engrossed to remember to post about what we were doing!
If you're someone who likes #maths and feels like you'd enjoy spending a relaxed evening once a month with other people who do too, have a look to see where your nearest #MathsJam is: https://www.mathsjam.com/find-a-jam/

What is Mathematics about?
I'm looking for pithy, engaging, relatable, positive, short (1 or 2 words) about what makes mathematics mathematics? How can you spot it in the wild?
I'm thinking "patterns", "relationships", "shapes", "changes",...
What else?

Finally, we are visited by some folks in the Crimson Firehawk, which surely everybody knows (I know it because I just looked it up).
It might not be the most recognisable thing in all of Star Wars, but it is pretty Christmassy, and there's plenty of mulled wine flowing from the foundry.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Thanks for coming along for this year's Legg Star Wars Advent Calendar ride!

Arrived, has Master Yoda. A little parched, he is. Show him to the mulled wine queue, you must, young padawan.

A troop carrier joins in the fun, but still no mulled wine is to be found. I think this is a U-Wing, but it's a bit less pointy than in Rogue One.

Luke Skywalker arrives. Something unspecified occupies his mind, drowning out thoughts of mulled wine. Maybe it's a desire to pick up power converters from Tosche Station; maybe it's something to do with kissing his sister.

Another ship I've never met, but it looks like it might be a freighter of some kind and almost certainly has gallons upon gallons of mulled wine aboard.
