Description

🍟 Why does the nutritional value of frozen chips change depending on whether they are cooked in an air fryer or in an oven?

⛰️ How large a mountain could we make from 2.2 meters of dredged sea bed (combatting sea level rise in the process)?

🃏And there’ll be some AOB, as easy as 123.


Head to our socials for pics of LIVE MATHS, chip nutritional values, post-Totoro Bec, ESA Souvenirs.
