Was a real game from the 90’s. We watched a couple of clips on YouTube and I obviously pretended I knew the rules, pretend chuckling when a “good” answer was given. He kept asking me what was going on, so I repeated that it would “click” soon and he’d understand, and that I didn’t want to spoil the sense of achievement by getting it himself. He’s nearly exploded trying to understand it! I suggested that he ask his teacher at school tomorrow, as she’ll be able to explain it to him, which is either going to be very funny or get me in trouble with the school. I did profess that I wouldn’t be able to fully explain Wangernum, as that is quite complicated. |  |

You mean there's no Numberwang board game?
I was hoping to find that in my Christmas Stocking. |  |

UPDATE: he’s just come into the room, having watched some more YouTube clips, asking whether it has something to do with the patterns in the numbers. Of course, I said no, go away and study it harder!! This could run and run. | |

This is the sort of behaviour that begins as a joke, but leads to mental trauma in children.
It'll all end in a shopping centre with a semi-automatic rifle.
It did in my case anyway. |  |

For dessert, you can start him on Mornington Crescent. |  |

At a suitable point, give him this as the equation that generates the answers....

As a nod to Numberwang, I named our (superfast) wifi router 'Turbowang'. It made me smile at the time, still does to be fair, but I realised that any time any of our neighbours try to link a device to wifi they will see Turbowang in the list of routers to connect to.
I suspect they all very quickly worked out it is our house. |  |

Our wifi was “BORIS JOHNSON IS A C*NT” for a while. I expect the neighbours are well aware it’s the crusty couple who continually listen to awful music and stink of ‘erbs.
I’m here for a Numberwang Son prank update. |  |

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Can't believe I've never heard of it before.
Thanks Gainsborough.

In terms of BBC programming in the last decade or so, it is criminally underwatched and underappreciated.
Nobody I have ever mentioned it to, had ever heard of it. But subsequently, everybody since has quoted it back to me.
Write that down. [Post edited 9 Dec 2020 13:50]
