The Curious Quest 14

In this issue, we wander into the peculiar charm of numbers, where 37 emerges as both humanity’s favorite “random” choice and a quiet protagonist in decision theory. We balance polynomials against each other in a duel of symmetry, trace probabilities through rock festivals where legends of music shuffle into headline slots, and puzzle out who stood in goal when Ada, Bernhard, and Coxeter chased victory on the field. Our journey carries us from infinite sums with elusive limits to triangular billiards that unfold into tessellated planes, and back again to timeless tales like Queen Dido’s problem, where myth and mathematics intertwine. With curiosities spanning culture, chance, and geometry, this issue invites you to see how play, pattern, and paradox keep mathematics endlessly alive.
