This is the bonus video for my new release: Does daylight savings kill people?https://youtu.be/XZGs5Im9f8Q

In short: if you pre-order my new book and put "PATREON" in the message when you check out I will give you one of the post-it notes I used when writing the book. The post-it note will have some random maths mistake idea which may or may not have made it into the final book.

This will be on a first pre-ordered first eventually served basis. See "Humble Pi: patreon people get post-its" video for full details.

Pre-order my book here. Tell your friends!https://mathsgear.co.uk/products/humble-pi

I can't wait to read it! Yet, still a bit sad it's not called "the wrong book “ anymore :)

Black Meph

Will their be a Post-It(R) note on how calling an angle τ/4 is technically just as stupid as calling it π/2, if the angle is actually π/4 (or τ/8)?

Dave Bell

Looks like you've not set the shop up properly? I can't check out. "No payment options here? No problem - it's easy to set up payment gateways."

hed0rizer

Same :( Cannot select a payment option.

Matt Parker

How annoying. Let me see what is going wrong. Please hold!

Matt Parker

I’m on it! Thanks for helping test the set-up.

Michael Preston

Just throwing my name in the "Cannot pay" hat

CodingEntity

Will it work if I order other things at the same time?

hed0rizer

Humble Pi - A Comedy of Online Shop Errors :D

Felicia Barker

Please please please could you make a video/gif of you flip-booking through the entire post-it-block-book before you dismantle it? I spent the whole video hoping you were going to. Also, the broken alliteration niggled me, so I propose: Patreon People Procure Post-Its. Or indeed: Patreon People Preferentially Procure Parker Publication Production Post-Its Per Pre-Order

Matt Parker

I think it might be working now? Can you re-try and report back.

hed0rizer

Indeed it is! Just finished my order :)

Matt Parker

I should have seen that coming. Anyway: I think it's fixed. Can you try and again and let me know if it works?

hed0rizer

It absolutely does! Pre-Order just went through :)

Matt Parker

No, as we've had to split it off separate to the rest of Maths Gear so that other purchases can still get processed straight away. Plus it makes it easier when we receive thousands of books to not have to match them up with other items in each order. Anyway: I think it's working now!

Matt Parker

I think my name is now in the "fixed the payment option" hat. I think. Let me know if it doesn't work this time.

Matt Parker

Yes it is now the wrong book with the wrong title. But I've grown to love "Humble Pi". It was my own fault for mentioning the pun to the publishers!

Marcel Blank

It works now, looking forward to Humble Pi! I hope I'm getting the Hubble post-it :D I love space science and I already knew of the story of the flawed mirror but I'm still curious how you're addressing it in your book.

Matt Parker

Ha. I do think there is a Tau post-it note in here somewhere (didn't make it into the book though). But I'm not going to start taking requests for specific post-its!

Felicia Barker

Ohh, that is immensely satisfying. Thank you!

Matt Parker

I've read through a lot of NASA disaster reports while writing this book. The Hubble report was one of the easier ones (fairly recent and no one died).

Neil McGovern

Ordered! Oh, and you have a typo at the end in the graphics - it says "wwwh.uble-pie.com" :)

Ulrich Kempken

From reading "Matt, book, preorder" to clicking checkout on Mathsgear one minute later... now I have something nice to look forward to in half a year. :) I wish you all the best with collecting lots and lots of preorders Matt.

Ulrich Kempken

I thought the same at first, but give the URL a try ;)

Tessa & Maarten

I'd already pre-ordered it from bookdepository, but I'm canceling that order and I've just pre-ordered it from mathsgear, because I'd love to have a post-it (which cost me €8, but so worth it). Thank you for doing this!

Neil McGovern

Dammit Matt, you devious, devious man.

Tessa & Maarten

Also, did I hear you mention - in the regular video - that you're signing pre-ordered books? Because if so: SQUEEE! I love signed stuff!

Thomas Rothe

Very disappointed About the fact that you only offer payment by credit card. Are you going to offer other payment methods?

Mark Fisher

Ordered. So it's finally finished after the tantalising teaser you gave us in your GDPR plug, err, personal email, err, mail shot. What is the funniest street name your Patreon's live on btw?

Nathan Rae

The only way i know Daylight Savings Time can kill is when people drive to work, notice their clock is wrong, look away from the road for too long because they don't remember how to change it, plow through the crash barrier and onto the train tracks below, causing the train to swerve out the way and derail, causing dozens of deaths including one former world boxing champion. For example.

Talya

Okay, now that the payment option thing was fixed, another question:

Talya

When writing PATREON in the “note to seller”, do you filter it automatically or manually?

Talya

In other words, can I write extra notes after that, or only PATREON if I want to get my post-its?

Matt Parker

Current plan is to sort manually. But if we go to an automated system I’ll make sure it is smart enough to scan through text. So wrote whatever you want!

Matt Parker

Due to updates to my privacy policy I am unable to release that data.

Matt Parker

Pre-orders are limited for payment options as the actual payment is months after the purchase. There will be many more options once it is released (bitcoin, gold bullion etc).

Matt Parker

Yes, all books sold on Maths Gear are signed by the authors!

SARA J DAVIS

Dammit I already ordered it. I really need to visit my Patreon feed more often.

Tomas Noordsij

I'm going to wait until the normal orders because I don't own a credit card but... Congratulations on the book!

Matt Parker

Can you edit your order to add “PATREON” to the notes?

Matt Parker

Thanks! Sorry pre-orders are limited to credit card payments. I may be able to take other preorders the week or so before it comes out (which are actually normal orders that are just delayed before they ship).

Chris Roberts

The mistake there was giving trains steering wheels....

RickB

I'm seeing this after I placed my pre-order, and I can't find how to change my notes with the order.

H

I contacted customer support about this and we agreed that you can't edit the message. I forgot to write a message in my order, so i cancelled it and made a new one.

H

Same, so i cancelled my order and placed a new one, with the message this time.

Henry

Shoot....book already mailed out.

Matt Parker

Drop me an email with your details and I’ll see if I can send you one anyway.

Henry

Is that this email? matt@standupmaths.com
