If you take the points each act gets from the public as they get awarded, you can (surely) work out how many points are left for that last score.

Working with one home-schooled student to deal with their flustered, and sometimes panicked, response to even the mildest of maths questions. Today, they managed to recognise when this was happening to them - on their own! Enormous progress in learning how to learn.

First tutoring session of 2025.
This Tutee deserves to get their GCSE.
Motivated, instinctive, hard-working. Doesn't always extract the right information from the question.
Tends to pick up the calculator too early.
I have a plan.

⅙π² is a very interesting number. Why? Well, because…
1÷1² + 1÷2² + 1÷3² + 1÷4² + … etc etc (ad infinitum) = ⅙π²

The Number 1,086.
Or "ten eighty-six". 1086 was the year that the church of St Nicolas was founded in Newbury.
Officially.
I mean, it didn't just suddenly appear by the river there. Must have been some sort of religious meeting place already, surely?
Amen.
