Really enjoyable this year. I "give" this advent calendar to my Year 12 and 13 Further Maths classes every year, and this has engaged more of them than in previous years. They particularly liked the shooting down of drones and the opportunity for intelligent "guess work" or in the case of some writing a computer programme which would calculate the probability distribution for each drone's position based on current information. Thank you
