Spot the difference, our campus, but it's 1985.

Acetates on overhead projectors instead of PowerPoint 👨‍🏫
Pens & paper instead of laptops 📝
Old Quad still looking green and luscious though 🌻

The footage is from a documentary filmed across an academic year in 1985.

An exciting result has just appeared on arXiv, concerning the following simple-seeming problem: if A is a set of n positive integers, then how large a sum-free subset B must it contain? That means that if x, y and z belong to B, then x + y should not equal z. 🧵
