29:23 you could also use just one finger (for example the middle finger) for any number by agreeing on the number of times you put the finger up and down (plus moving the hand for signalling the next digit), e.g. 8 times: finger up, finger down, finger up, finger up, finger down, finger down, finger up, finger down equals 178. And maybe use another finger for error correction :-)

Very interesting, but not surprising that mechanism of information transfer is coded in our genome. After all physical reality is mathematical in structure (Max Tegmark).
I think it's ironic that the British insist on pluralizing the short form, yet conjugating verbs as if it's singular. Just pick one. It's either mathematics as plural, shortened to "maths", and conjugated as maths "are" OR it's mathematics as singular, shortened to "math", and conjugated as math "is".
I don't like the form "maths" myself, but this isn't a very good argument. "Mathematics", like many other words that end in '-ics', is plural in form but treated as singular: compare 'economics', 'physics', 'mechanics', 'politics', 'ethics' &c. &c. The only real difference between these and "mathematics" is that they typically aren't abbreviated. Various other abbreviations keep their plural endings, e.g. "Dr. / Drs.", so why shouldn't 'mathematics'? At the end of the day, I think "math" is better because the "ths" sounds is harsh and interrupts the flow of words, plus my bias as an American, growing up with it. Outside of personal preference and common usage around you, there's no real reason to use one or the other though; use whichever you prefer and don't nitpick others' dialects!

Fascinating, thankyou.

To be consistent, if "math" is the short form of "mathematics", shouldn't "statistics" be abbreviated to "stat" not "stats"?
