Sweden are rated with an implied probability of almost 35% to win the competition, which is as fraught with geopolitical tensions, unswerving allegiances, opposing groupings, accusations of corruption and unpopular nations that tend to narrow the field, regardless of the song. The UK are in with a 15% chance while Ireland have a very poor chance at under 2%. The fact…

Should we continue to categorise mathematics as a subject or module, we will continue to miss great opportunities for our children to become the innovative and creative adults we desperately need for our failing economy to improve.
