***A Strong Words 2023 Book of the Year***

''A highly enjoyable and serendipitous read!'' - Rob Eastaway, bestselling co-author of Headscratchers: The New Scientist Puzzle Book

Did you know:

-Only around 100 people have ever lived beyond a million hours (that''s about 114 years)
-Around 7% of everyone who has ever lived is currently alive
-The ''12 days of Christmas'' song, when sung in full, results in 364 gifts being given - one for every day... except Christmas

Broken down into 12 chapters that correspond roughly to months of the year - from going ''back to school'' with arithmetic and times tables through prime numbers and all the way to the 12 Days of Chris-maths, this book features a collection of 365 fascinating numerical ''nuggets'', accompanied by clear, bite-size explanations of the mathematics that underpin them.
