At our last meetup, we talked about a mathematical theory of how to do induction well. At this meetup, we will get some practice at actually doing it by playing (a facsimile of) Zendo! In small groups, one player will be the 'Master', and the rest will be their 'Students'. Students will have playing cards, and the Master will have some criterion to pick out 'good' arrangements of playing cards. The 'Students' have to try to guess the Master's criterion by putting out arrangements of playing cards, and asking the Master if they are 'good'. If a Student guesses the Master's criterion, they win!
As always, vegan snacks will be provided.
