£19m

40,000

The number taking part in Abertay University’s Global Game Jam.

The 10th anniversary event saw 40,000 people working in 805 sites across 109 countries. The event involves coders, graphic artists and sound designers working together to devise new games.

20

The number of grand slam tennis titles won by Roger Federer.

He completed his feat at the Australian Open and was very emotional.

£580,913

The amount spent by cash-strapped NHS Tayside on uneaten meals since 2013. In the worst year, roughly one in 13 meals were thrown away, costing the organisation around £437 a day.

Millions more homes and businesses are able to get online at speeds of at least 24mbps he said.

£22

People will no longer need to rush down in the morning with a towel, if they book the new service with Thomas Cook, the first UK company to offer it.
