Siteswap notation? It's fascinating stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siteswap

Yep, thats the stuff, was straightforward for 2 or 3 balls, but once he got over 5 it was crazy, helped by the fact that the lecturer was juggling through the lecture. Just realised these lectures were nearly 20 years ago, that makes me feel old, think it might have been Colin Wright who gave the lecture actually.

Vaguely related... I went to a lecture years ago, which went through the statistics of how to maximise your chances of winning the maximum amount with a winning ticket, going through things like how people are drawn to certain patterns when choosing etc. at the end of the lecture he gave the six numbers which would maximise the return, the kicker was that he had given that same lecture to thousands of people so those six were no longer true!
Also saw a lecture on the mechanics of juggling, that blew my mind.
