Stress-test release of new football petition and video! (Patreon)

Published:

Content

The geometrically accurate football campaign is back! My new plan is to try and convince the Premier League to change to a mathematically complicated ball which technically matches the UK street signs. All details are in the video.

I'm putting the video on Patreon first so you can give the petition site a stress test. We've built it ourselves so it will be nice to know it's all working properly before the video goes out to a wide audience. Head over to https://mathsballs.com/

Of course, if you spot any mistakes in the video: let me know while there is still time to fix them. Otherwise this will be the same video/URL which will go live, so any comments etc on this go live as well.

Just wanted to say I can sign the petition as a non-UK citizen.

Submitted as “Test only delete me” and the page showed “content missing” in the black “add your signature” box after I submit

Adam Wishneusky

Guessing that should be a “thank you for signing” type message

When viewing on my Google Pixel, I can barely hear the audio from 7:26 to 8:55. Anyways, terrific video! Definitely one of my new favorites! Really hoping you can mass-produce these balls and make them available on maths gear haha.

Seems to work. Clicked the link in the email, number incremented by one.

Ok, we had a close look at what happened and apparently the server tried to email the invalid email address you used and freaked out. In the words of my web dev "We have made the server a cup of tea and it has calmed down (and will not panic in the same way again!).".

standupmaths

Yes, signatures from anywhere welcome! We'll add a note to that effect on the site.

The petition site works by I must say the ball itself is disturbing. Seeing white panels with more than 3 white neighbors creates neighborhoods so segregated that they are doing my head in.

It gave me two errors, one about not being able to add me and a content missing one, not sure it added my name

Matt did write in his stand-up-special post: "So once the stand-up special is done I will send a free download link to all Stand-up Maths patreon supporters." Did we get that already? Now that I hear that it's officially out I'd love to watch it

Another UK travesty! I'm all for supporting the Welsh language for kids... But can we accept the problematic football on the cover?!?! https://www.nabu.org/wrexham

During the euros (football) did anyone else notice that on Google pay, the cute animation shown after payment showed an all hexagon football!
