We're going to do some live podcasts. They will be on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 25th of July at the Royal Institution in London. We'll be performing at the Lecture Theatre, which is the home of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. It's an extremely venerable place.

I found this quite fascinating because I don't understand maths, but if you have... What a qualifier. How are your Royal Institution Christmas lecture series? If you have a piece of Lego that has eight studs in it, and then you had six of those, the combination of connecting those six different pieces to an eight studded Lego brick is over 915 million possibilities of how you can make those combinations.
