What happens

Dara Ó Briain: School of Hard Sums is a British comedy game show about the subject of mathematics, based on the Japanese show Comaneci University Mathematics. The programme was broadcast on Dave, was presented by Dara Ó Briain, and starred Marcus du Sautoy. Each episode was themed and Ó Briain, along with a guest or guests, attempted to solve various conundrums set by du Sautoy. At the end of each episode, Ó Briain set homework questions for viewers; the answers could be checked on the show's website. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
