10/14/15

1.     10/14/15
a.     Highlights: Stayed up late doing math hw with Johan. Went to his house, baked pizza (like a Risk party!) and drank tea. Planned to stay up super late, but slept through our power nap alarm J Also: awesome probability problem in 312. Imagine you have 30 dollars and your opponent has 70. Flip a coin. Tails = you give a dollar to your opponent Heads = converse. Game ends when one person has all the money. Turns out you have an exactly 30% probability of winning all the money. WTF? Linearity of the bell curve?
b.     Other things: Went on a run again in the amazing reserve down by the soccer field. Went to the new Area 01 on west campus—it’s ridiculous—they have a makerspace, image lab with greenscreen, and last but not least, a sound / recording lab, which I toured.
