501 days out of 869

Each square is a day. The darker it is, the more XP that day. Empty squares are days off, and there are plenty. This is what a long learning journey really looks like.

What the work was made of

594 reviews for 609 lessons

Where these numbers come from

Figures are totals from the learner’s own Math Academy activity log, shared by the guest for this episode. Only daily totals, course dates and overall counts are published: no individual activity, topic or time of day. Days are UTC calendar days, so a late-evening session can land on the next day.
