Jump for your life

My fortnightly "A Matter of Numbers" column in Mint went on air last Friday, March 2.

This one discusses the antics of fleas, the musings of elephants, and even slips in some speculation about why my daughter is cleaner than me. All that, and it also warns you about the consequences of shivering uncontrollably.

With that introduction, I know you're just dying to read it. It's called "Jump for your life" and you'll find it here.

Comments, as ever, welcome.
