Friendship Paradox and Virus Spread

I saw this video Last year from Brunel University and thought it was fascinating:

Probability and Network connections and the modelling behind rapid disease control.

Something harder?

Some people have e-mailed to ask if they could have something harder... I would encourage you to continue to complete the themed weekly challenges as these are based on topics that are important when you start A-Level Maths. This week there are a couple of extension problems there too. But if that's not enough, then check out the "I need a challenge" link at the top of this page.

If you have any feedback for us, please let me know by emailing jbw@woking.ac.uk
