A talk at Jodrell Bank September 24, 2008
Posted by Alexandre Borovik in Uncategorized.trackback
Yesterday I gave a talk “Social life of Infinity: from mathematics to Kitsch” at “Arts meet Science” event held at Jodrell Bank. I mentioned in the talk that kisch is virtually unknown in mathematics and was presented with a counterexample: one of the speakers, sci-fi writer David McIntee, gave me a Sudocube bought in the Visitor Centre shop. I proudly display a photo.

I don’t get it… On the same line it has 12 number positions (4 sides, 3 on each), but only 9 distinct numbers. That makes solving Sudocube impossible.
