Corrections and clarifications:

  • Liran Bromberg emailed to clarify that the Choco Leibnitz biscuit is – in fact – named after the mathematician. Which surprised Helen, who thought that all of the biscuits and “biscuits” mentioned in her song were just naming coincidences. Thanks for the bonus fact, Liran!

And here’s a heap of Unnecessary Detail from this episode:
