We are three young aspiring mathematicians and one scrappy engineer who have had the ludicrous idea to partake in a twenty-four-hour maths challenge run by the maths students at Durham University to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK.

What's this? A hidden fifth member?! Please welcome Lewis, our personal chauffeur to the event.
While we're slaving away at the maths problems, Lewis will be to-ing and fro-ing from the maths building and Big Tesco for all our snacking and entertainment needs. Unfortunately, he will not be joining us at the event, but he wouldn't have wanted that anyway.
Today is race day! You only have two days left to donate before everything closes. We're so close to our target! The link is in the bio.

The final member of our team is 5 "The Theorem Troubadour" Oli ~ a well-rounded yet talented mathematician who excels in tackling worded problems. He's a true expert in abstract academia who can make even the toughest theorems sound like a melody.
Tomorrow is race day! The link is in our bio if you want to donate before the event.
