I'm the Trigonographer at Trigonography.com. Something of a lurker here, but I post "Mathy Day" greetings and other things to Bluesky and Mathstodon, and my InspiredByMath Etsy shop has posters and t-shirts: https://bsky.app/profile/justblue.bsky.social https://mathstodon.xyz/@blue https://inspiredByMath.etsy.com

Maybe as many as seven 'tudes! Like Latty and Lonjy and Alty and Magny and Amply and Pulchry and Solly and Ay and Gratty and Platty and Infinny ... *whoops* ... Got a little carried away there!

BTW: I mark various mathy days on Mathstodon, the mathy Mastodon instance, and Bluesky ... as "blue" and "justblue", respectively. (Mod-bots seem to keep deleting direct links.)

Two Pi Day (aka, Tau Day, 6.28), is Saturday, so even though the due date may be a while off, perhaps the theme could be mathy constants: Pi(wacket?), Tau, Phi (Fifi?), Square-root-of-2 (Rooty-twoty? Squirt?), etc. Mama could be Constance. :) Just *slightly* more sophisticated than "Number 1", "Number 2", >frank<, etc ...

You could hit Easter, Flowers, and/or Springtime themes by using names of rabbits from "Watership Down": Hazel, Blackberry, Dandelion, Bluebell, Hyacinth, Cowslip, Nightshade, Frankenberry, etc, etc, etc ... and Fiver for #5!

I'm on an old plan (no longer offered?): $6 for doing nothing; $3 for up to some # of texts; $3 for up to some # of call minutes; etc.

I'm on the $6 plan. Great ... but it's annoying to receive a single junk text that triggers the messaging plan and costs me another $3. :/

For "weekday" to be nine-tenths of "weekend", "weekend" must be ten-ninths of "weekday". Since 10/9=1.1111..., the bump is about 11.11%.

She'll have to change her nickname from ReaRea to ReadRead. (BTW: Get a Twitter acct for your store and tweet the story to @isThisPBosch.)

If you fully twist it into a cone, then you can project a plane of light onto it at various angles to demonstrate the conic sections.

To bake these, you need ... SPACE PANS!
