I've just received 20,000 "Maths Postcards" courtesy of Maths Year 2000.
PLEASE help me dispose of them! - send your address and your wishes (min.
10, max. 100).
We can also send sample pages from the Maths Year 2000 calendar (History of

Details of Kool Kards.
These are "Boomerang Cards". Apparently the kids love to collect them.
There will be 12 in all. Two are out now - "Kool Dood" pictures of Pete Tong
(DJ, in case you didn't know), and Naseem Hamed (who _even I_ know is a
boxer). The signed _bons mots_ of these two celebrities are printed:
"I can take care of myself in the ring, but looking out for yourself in
life is the real fight. Believe me you need maths. I couldn't run my
businesses without it. Get smart. Don't come second, learn your maths."
"Whether you're into techno or technology, you need maths. It helps you
think and you can use it to work things out. Mixing and timing is just maths
used instinctively. It's as cool as the music".
Guess which one could NOT have been written by David Blunkett.
