Think of a Number

BBC One
on BBC One London

with Johnny Ball
A lighthearted exploration of science and numbers.
This week Johnny goes round the bend with a few Dangerous Curves. Find out how you can draw hyperbolas, parabolas and about the illusion that something is there when it isn't. So this week watch out for things that go with a swing, and for curves there's no place like cone.
Meanwhile - bend your mind to this - which set of numbers adds up to the higher figure?*
Written by JOHNNY BALL Producer JOHN SMITH
