Now that pandemic restrictions are easing up, people are getting together again. But it’s been a while, so if you and your friends need some help breaking the ice, here’s a mathematical party game you ...

Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...

Let’s say you’re planning your next party and agonizing over the guest list. To whom should you send invitations? What combination of friends and strangers is the right mix? It turns out ...

Anti-Ramsey theory in graphs is a branch of combinatorial mathematics that examines the conditions under which a graph, when its edges are coloured, must necessarily contain a ‘rainbow’ subgraph – a ...
