Ruggable's two-part rug system is driving social media crazy — in a good way. We talk to the Los Angeles-based entrepreneur behind it all, and she explains how it all started with her dog, and an accident. And a rug empire was born.

Blake Gopnik's definitive 'Warhol' gathers up all the receipts on the blank icon who stormed the barricades of art, only to serve it up to commerce.

ALAN TITCHMARSH, celebrated and much loved TV gardener, once revealed a genius gardening hack to ensure one of his favourite flowers will grow even better in your own home.

AMONG the many foolish vanities to which Mankind subscribes is the belief he can foretell the future. He has been trying since time immemorial. First there were chicken entrails, then animal bones, progressing to the stars, palms, crystal balls, tarot cards and tea leaves.

The author of the new book “Making Comics” has a plan for her grant windfall: the study of the “split” in the human brain between writing and drawing.

Archimedes was one of the most brilliant people ever, on a par with Einstein and Newton. Yet very little of what he wrote still exists because of the passage of time, and because many copies of his works were erased and the cleaned pages were used again. One of those written-over works (called a palimpsest) has resurfaced, and advanced digital imaging techniques using statistics and linear algebra have revealed his previously unknown discoveries in combinatorics and calculus. This leads to a question that would stump even Archimedes: How much further would mathematics and science have progressed had these discoveries not been erased? One of the most dramatic revelations of Archimedes. work was done using X-ray fluorescence.

A build team in Ohio is in the process of turning an old Porsche Boxster into a supercar that was limited to just seven units worldwide and originally priced at $3.4 million. The car we're talking about is the W Motors Lykan Hypersport that bowed in 2013, and a replica was recently acquired by a workshop in Bowling Green, Ohio. The replica was...

Two gems from the wizard of recreational maths

Today’s column is a celebration of John Horton Conway, the legendary British mathematician, who died of coronavirus earlier this month, aged 82.

Conway was an inspirational, iconoclastic genius who invented and studied countless puzzles and games, in addition to his more highbrow work in group theory, number theory, geometry, topology and many other fields.

The answers to today’s puzzles

Earlier today I set you two puzzles that the late John Horton Conway suggested for this column:

1) The Miracle Builders

Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has urged Jurgen Klopp to bring Philippe Coutinho back to Anfield, saying he would re-sign the Brazilian "in a heartbeat".

Louis van Gaal has described Ed Woodward as an "evil genius" – and insists he holds the Manchester United executive vice chairman responsible for his brutal sacking.
