# Game ideas - Math dominos: - Each problem is a domino tile, by difficulty. - Score is sum if 1st try, max if 2nd try. Subtract min if no solution. - Each team can have 2-3 dominos at a time. No free swaps. - Pick up dominos without knowing problem. - что-где-когда: - All teams solve one problem at once. - Spacewar!: - Two teams, each starts in one root node. - Graph of problems, symmetric across middle - easy problems close, hard problems far. - Goal: capture as many nodes as possible - Solve a problem, capture a node - solve a problem on the other team's side, capture their node. - TODO: a fun way to resolve conflicts? # Topics: - Divisibility proofs & properties - 1 exists ==> assume 2 exist - <= , >= ==> = - pidgeonhole # Handout ideas: - Notation toolbox - Propositional logic - Rubik's group - Graph combinatorics - Fourier transforms - Probabalistic proofs - Bayesian / Frequentist probability - Data structures # Handouts to clean up: - Euler's number - Lattices - Nim handout - Stocks - Continued fractions # Problems to record: - Nikita: weight of 100 cows - Seat swapping: everyone wants a seat that's not their own, no two people want the same seat. Each cycle, everyone swaps. Min # of cycles? Solution: 2, reflect. use even and odd cycles. Takeaway: composition of reflections is rotation. - Geometric optimization: ant on cube shortest path, ant on brick shortest path, ribbon on brick (over-under, h-shape) minimal length, Farthest point from corner of brick - 180: Sperner lemma and brouwer theorem - 25 horses. 5 at a time. find top 3?
