Last week, J.Steininger & S.Yurkevich discovered the "Noperthedron", a convex polyhedron with 90 vertices that is not Rupert - you can't cut a hole through the shape and pass a copy of the shape through it.

If correct, this is the 1st convex polyhedron proven not to be Rupert.

@ViCustomerCare can you please tell me where can I find VI International Roaming Partner Network information. https://t.co/v7LwIoDKqe -> International Roaming is only for activating the IR pack. I need information for France, Italy, and UAE.

@KotakCares, @KotakBankLtd I am very disturbed by your calls for credit cards. I am receiving calls even after applying for DNC. I requested the executives several times I don't have any requirements. You even call on Sundays!

@vfsglobalcare I am facing an issue activating my account for the last 4 hours; it shows some error message & asks me to try again after 2 hours. Tried to contact you at [phone]; it's not connecting. Can you please help?

@MyLloydIndia, again I have requested for a service request and it was cancelled. The technician didn't bother to call me.
Can I have an explanation for this? Is this how @havellsindia treating with their customers?

[Tapas Bose @tapasbose]

@MyLloydCare360, @MyLloydIndia Thursday I requested a servicing (15062322400257). How can the technician cancel the request by saying "Servicing not required" without visiting?
I guess the name of the technician is probably Zeeshan Sami since he is responsible for my locality.

[Tapas Bose @tapasbose]

@MyLloydIndia I have requested of a visit by the technicians for my AC 48 hours ago. They have not visited but how can they log the visit completed?How can they log visit complete without the signature of the customer.
This is how you provide services to your customers?

Conjecture: Take any number, reverse its digits and add it to the original number. Repeat this process and you will eventually produce a palindrome.

This is an open problem. 196 is the smallest number for which a palindrome hasn't been found through this iterative process.

@inDrive I have booked for a ride, tried to call the driver, he is not picking up the call. What should I do? Frequent cancellation blocks rider's account. I have used chat support. They are unable to answer to my question.

@urbancompany_UC, last month my AC was damaged by the technician. I have raised a ticket. It's been more than a month, and neither this ticket has been resolved nor I have been refunded/compensated or the damaged part been returned. Customer care keeps rescheduling.
