The mathematical product (a-x)(b-x) can be represented without parentheses
by multiplying it out as follows: ab - ax - bx + x2.
Similarly for three factors, (a-x)(b-x)(c-x)
can be represented as
abc - abx - acx + ax2 - bcx + bx2 + cx2
- x3
Multiply the following twenty-six factors and display the result without
the use of parentheses: (a-x)(b-x)(c-x)(d-x)...(z-x)

In the 1660s a scientist made a rather daunting looking To do list
for himself which included investigating theories of optics, gravity,
magnetism, and combustion. He went on to make significant contributions
in all these fields and many others, including working on the development
of accurate timepieces, vacuum pumps, barometers, and telescope lenses.
Despite all of this, he is remembered today almost exclusively only for
the discovery of one relatively uninteresting law of physics. Who was
he and how do schoolchildren today demonstrate his law experimentally?

In my trusty dictionary between a bog and
stifling warm weather I find the dead centre of a hospital, tanned goatskin,
the god of dreams, a grotesque dance in fancy dress, a small quantity,
a ballistic missile launcher, parti-coloured dress, a boastful pretender,
a homeless child and plain clothes.
I also find a suggested solution for a British Royal dilemma.
