You'll pleased to hear Sarah enjoyed the first chocolate figure out of her Carluccio's Advent Calendar. It was a small mushroom, made by Caffarel, a Piemontese chocolate manufacturer. Too much information?

Today's picture is of the mascots for the 2016 Olympics. Rio has done some great branding and promotion, and they want all of us to choose the names for their Olympic and Paralympic mascots.

Visit their website where you can take a selfie with them, find out more about what the Olympics stand for, and get exciting about the next Olympic Games!

Of course our favourite mascots ever are still Miga, Quatchi, Sumi and Mukmuk from Vancouver 2010!

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
