Firstly: here is a quick behind the scenes video from when I filmed about superpermutations with Robin. We had set up the n=5 case and I thought it would be nice to take a longer look at it.

Secondly: someone found a new shortest case for n=7 and put it in the comments section of my youtube video! I never thought I would see novel mathematics come out of youtube comments. But if it was going to be anything: superpermutations seems appropriate.

And a high school student sent me a new n=6 which had actually be found before, but only very recently. Your support for these videos is encouraging young people to do some interesting maths themselves!

Finally: I have a few sets of the cards from the video left over. If you'd like some just drop me a line on mattreon@standupmaths.com and let me know. I'll post them out in a week from now.

Emailed after the main vid went out but just done it again to make doubly sure you got it! :)

I’m very proud of the community of people who watch these videos and I’m sure there will be more new math* in the future. The videos are also used in lessons by a lot of teachers so we’re helping enthuse a new generation as well. *See: I can say math as well!

Wiskunde is a better name for math/maths anyway (Dutch bias)

Just sent you an email and hoping that there's a set left!
