For #screenshotSaturday, here's "Design Mode" for HexSum. You can decide how the board is set up. It's a great mode if you want to create your own puzzles and share them. I do this with kiddo all the time who loves to create a challenge for me :) hexsumgame.com -- #HexSumGame #gamedev #mathsky
It's the weekend, which means Blocks mode is open if you're playing logged out! hexsumgame.com/blocks-daily... Such a fun mode if you're in a puzzle-y mood, but really not up for the drama of a large board. 😀 -- #HexSumGame #mathsky #edugames
so this was amusing against Stockfish 5 --- a level I could have easily beaten many years ago, but now I'm 50-50 against. Stockfish plays Bg5 and I think it was because it knew it was lost and was 'hoping', I would take the (poisoned) hanging bishop! I haven't seen this type of tactic before #chess
If you're new to HexSum, check out this little video. The goal is to find paths that add up to the center value with the added challenge that you have to use all the tiles! Every puzzle is solvable this way. Give it a whirl! hexsumgame.com -- #HexSumGame #mathsky #gamedev
Animation done for Obvious Gravity's game Otto and the Ancient Worlds. Fun challenge: each action can have 6 unique frames top! #Pixelart #animation #indiedev #indiegame
Try out today's daily HexSum puzzles! hexsumgame.com/daily-2 Also, support this endeavor with Pro account and unlock more modes and options. It's a one-time purchase of $7. Cheaper than a breakfast bagel and coffee up here in these parts. A 🐝 mode is coming :) -- #HexSumGame #gamedev #mathsky

Here's another thread, if you want to save it. Pythagorean triples and complex numbers! And we'll use a prime number for the base. Here are the first few (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25) Let's take (3, 4, 5) and let's write the base and height together as a complex number: 3 + 4i -- #mathsky
Solution to this in thread below. It really is neat, though. Has composition-like details even though it came from a game. #chess #puzzles

Today's Blocks puzzle is mighty difficult. Good luck! Let me know if you solved it :) hexsumgame.com/blocks-daily... Try out the other modes too and find your flavor of puzzle. I have a honeybee version in the works, so be on the lookout! -- #HexSumGame #mathsky #gamedev #puzzle #edugames

Fairies are moody and unpredictable but most of all very helpful - in Save the Forest you encounter them in a couple of different ways. for #ScreenshotSaturday here's a fairy living (?) in a waterfall #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #strategy
for #screenshotSaturday here's a sneak peek at a new mode I'm working on in HexSum. I haven't quite figured out a good balance or strong mechanics, but there is a fun game in here! You can play HexSum here hexsumgame.com -- #HexSumGame #mathsky
![A honeycomb pattern of radius four filled with numbers. Four hexes are a golden / honey color, while a fifth hex is a yellow / amber. A honeybee rests on one of the golden / honey colored tiles.

Very excited to have posted my preprint, produced with the help of Claude Fable 5, settling an old conjecture of mine from 2006, which I am calling "The Mod 4 Kawauchi Conjecture." Feedback and comments welcome. arxiv.org/abs/2607.18655
A proof of the mod 4 Kawauchi Conjecture
Kawauchi conjectured that the Conway polynomial of an amphicheiral knot factors as $\nabla_K(z)=f(z)f(-z)$ for some integer polynomial $z$. In joint work with Hartley, he showed this was true for stro...

Was this a good start or am I in trouble? Try out the dailies including this one at hexsumgame.com/daily-2/2026... And if you like it enough, go Pro for more game modes! No ads, no subscriptions, no constant pings nor notifs. Just peaceful, casual play. -- #HexSumGame #puzzle #mathsky
The occasional, "Hey love, let me just go get groceries without the kids", I get. But, do you know how many times we've gone as a family and how much of a *fun* spelling scavenger hunt it is for the little ones? "Can you find ziti? It's spelled z-i-t-i." This is family time. It's wholesome and fun.

Weekends are a great time to while away some time on HexSum! There are many game modes: Standard, Timed, Versus, Blocks (my favorite). You can design your own boards and download pdf versions (great for no/low tech class!) hexsumgame.com/daily-2 -- #mathsky #HexSumGame

“The closed form”. There are also a lot of good ones involving statistics, measure theory, or group theory: “the non-identifiable set”, “the measure zero society”, “the non-measurable set”, “the exceptional sporadic group”
The anonymous function (where function is interpreted as a social event)
The undefinable set. This would lead to nice statements like "Is John a member of the undefinable set? No one knows."
I thought that "discrete mathematics" was the name of the secret group.
