AI just solved an 80-year-old ‘Erdős problem,’ and mathematicians are amazed
A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone

There’s a complete lack of loyalty. I think Keir Starmer should stay. I think there shouldn't be a leadership contest. And I back Keir Starmer to finish the job that he started, deliver the manifesto that he got elected on. Yes, things have been tough. Yes, he's made mistakes. buff.ly/blYVhcX

In #MathsToday, Year 12 tackled some Underground Maths tasks on inequalities. Inequality sets: undergroundmathematics.org/polynomials/... Inequalities for some occasions: undergroundmathematics.org/quadratics/i... I always find with their tasks there's more to them than initially meets the eye.
A three-circle Venn diagram labelled A, B, and C inside a rectangle. Each region represents inequalities with certain properties:
	•	A: the solution set is a subset of x \leq 1.
	•	B: the solution set is of the form a \leq x \leq b.
	•	C: the inequality is satisfied by x = 4.

Below the diagram is a set of numbered inequalities in boxes. The task is to place each inequality into the correct region of the Venn diagram according to the properties of its solution set.

https://undergroundmathematics.org/quadratics/inequalities-for-some-occasionsA table with three columns: “Solution set”, “Graph”, and “Inequality”. Each row must be completed so that it contains:
	•	a solution set written in set notation,
	•	a graph showing a function or curve to help solve the inequality,
	•	the inequality itself.

Some rows are partially filled with either a solution set, a graph, or an inequality, and the student must fill in the missing parts to match them consistently.
