FWIW, here’s my take—as someone who loves music & is a Jew Excellent: Macklemore loudly & publiclycalling for Palestinian rights Excellent: Musicians rallying behind his call & dropping out of the tour in solidarity Bad: Sheeran’s promoter dropping Macklemore Bad: Macklemore’s Jewface
The rapper Macklemore wearing Jewface—the side profile picture in particular shows the typical highly antisemitic representation of Jews, eg a huge hooked nose and beard. 

Sarah Silverman defines Jewface as: “when a non-Jew portrays a Jew, with the Jewishness front and center—often with makeup, or changing of features, big fake nose, all the New York-y or Yiddish-y inflection.”

This shortcut is valid for all 6-digit numbers, with a slight caveat. To show the caveat, let's use it to find 857,853 days after Thursday: 853 - 857 = - 4 days after Thursday (🤨❓) This result should be thought of as 4 days before Thursday or Sunday. So, 857,853 days after Thursday is Sunday ✅
Six-Digit Number Calendar Shortcut

Example:

What day of the week will it be 132,135 days after Tuesday?

Shortcut:

135 [last three digits] - 132 [first three digits] = 3

3 days after Tuesday = Friday [Answer]

Now It's Your Turn!

What day of the week will it be 254,256 days after Monday?

I'm glad someone else is enjoying numbers as well! Just as a reminder for your journey, though: Years like 2100, 2200, and 2300 are no longer leap years in our current Gregorian calendar because a year ending in 00 has to be a multiple of 400 to be considered leap Best of luck in your travels! :)

Three Different Ways to Multiply 18 by 35: Which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments! #MathChat #MathsChat #MathSky #MathsSky #Mathematics #Multiplication
Three different ways to show that 18 times 35 is 630:

Method 1 is the traditional algorithm involving carrying and adding.

Method 2 is rewriting 18 as 20 - 2 then applying the distributive property to get 700 - 70 = 630.

Method 3 is imagining an 18 by 35 rectangle, cutting it into two 9 by 35 rectangles, and rearranging them to a 9 by 70 rectangle which leaves the total area of 630 unchanged.

Which method did you prefer?

Would you rather memorize ten formulas or just three? Also, keep in mind that this is just for the basics of kinematics and there are even more physics topics with their own sets of formulas! #MathSky #MathsSky #MathChat #MathsChat #Mathematics #Algebra
Red Title: "Dear Students, this is why we learn algebra!"

On the left-hand side, we see the minimum of TEN kinematics formulas you'd have to memorize if you cannot rearrange equations. On the right-hand side, we see the 3 usually memorized kinematics formulas [along with a clarification that the last one can technically be derived from the previous two by solving for time in the second then substituting into the first and simplifying]. Uniform acceleration is assumed in both cases.

Nice! There's even an elegant way to explain this "trick" visually. While the visual I've shown below technically only proves that the "trick" works for the 35² = 1225 case, similar visuals can indeed be made for all natural numbers ending in 5. I hope you enjoy it! #Mathematics #MathChat #MathsChat
An image showing that a 35 by 35 square can be cut into a 30 by 30 square, two 30 by 5 rectangles, and a 5 by 5 square. The first three pieces can then be rearranged to form a 30 by 40 rectangle, thus showing that 35² = 30 × 40 + 25 = 1225.

A Timezone Inaccuracy from 1% Club UK Due to DST, this question has TWO answers. We could also start 2025-10-25 23:00:00 UTC [midnight October 26 in London & 7 PM October 25 in New York] and add 5 hours to get 2025-10-26 04:00:00 UTC [midnight October 26 in New York, but 4 AM October 26 in London].
Question: If it's midnight in London when it's 7 PM in New York, what time is it in London when it's midnight in New York?

Answer from the show: 5 AM

Actual answer due to DST: Either 5 AM or 4 AM

An example for 4 AM: Start from October 25th 2025, 23:00 UTC and add 5 hours

A spooky calculation I thought of 🧮 1. Choose four distinct single digits. 2. Form all three-digit numbers possible using three distinct digits from those you picked 3. Divide the sum of the three-digit numbers found by the sum of the four distinct digits. You'll always get 666, but why? #MathSky
The image describes the following mathematical trick which will always give 666 as a result
Step #1: Choose four distinct digits [In the example: 2, 3, 5, and 7 were chosen]
Step #2: Form all three-digit numbers possible using three distinct digits from those you picked [There are twenty-four possible three-digit numbers that could be formed and the table shows all of them arranged in a random and unimportant order]
Step #3: Divide the sum of the three-digit numbers formed by the sum of the four digits [In the case of the example, the three-digit numbers formed added up to 11,322 which when divided by 17 (from 2 + 3 + 5 + 7) would indeed give 666 as expected]

Looked up the factors of 2581 and forgot to put "-ai", so I ended up stumbling across this wrong solution which immediately caught my attention since I knew that 31 times 51 equals 1581. Luckily, the mathematical webpages below it gave the correct factorization of 29 times 89. #MathSky #Numeracy
Google's AI Overview attempting to find the factors of 2581. It claims the factors of 2581 are 1, 31, 83, and 2581. While the method it's using is valid, the AI incorrectly states that 31 is the first prime number that divides 2581 because 2581 divided by 31 equals exactly 83. In reality, 2581 is a multiple of an earlier prime number (29) and 2581/31 = 83.2580645...

One can say that Zionism is just a tool for a large part of these 'religious' Christians for achieving their own goals and less about the goal of Jewish Zionism, but there has to be some kind of overall term for the Christians who claim their own religion as their reason for supporting Israel.
