A look at all aspects of numbers from the background to our numbers and number system (why do we count in tens?), through the significance of certain numbers in culture and superstition (why is the number 13 unlucky?), to number patterns (prime numbers, square numbers, the Fibonacci sequence and more), “important numbers” (e.g. pi) and number games, puzzles and jokes.

No mathematical knowledge is required, just a sense of curiosity.
