INTERESTING MOMENTS
When we asked a bonus question about the statistics of poker hands, a team of statisticians showed us the math explaining how to calculate it, and said “it’s this, simplified”.
One player turned up just before halftime, and was told “you can hug later, first answer these questions”.
When they heard Chopin’s Funeral March, one team thought it was for a wedding. You know, one of those REALLY depressing weddings.
And we have new leaders in the quarterly tournament.
