Dear @Tesco, are you aware that homeopathy is an ineffective and disproven therapy? It isn’t a very good use or recipient of your charity - we’d suggest your charitable efforts are put to something that could actually benefit the community.

Just noticed that in a set of AQA Maths GCSE papers, Paper 1 had a sequence of questions whose marks went 3, 1 and 4. Paper 2 has 3, 1, 4, 2. Paper 3 has 3, 1, 4. Do maths examiners slip pi into their papers?? @standupmaths


May have gone a little rogue on the lattice topping to this mince pi. Cc @standupmaths
