Thanks for the tweet. What version of the app are you using? I thought we fixed this bug AGES ago.

Thanks everyone who sent me this amazing tweet! So, as always it’s probably a binary overflow problem and sure enough 2^63 = 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 which is close!

We have a free Think Maths magic trick activity that teachers can use to introduce their students to binary.
