Friday News Apr 26: Weekly Socials, G4G Tributes

  • G4G Weekly Socials

    Our weekly Socials are held on Sunday at 1 pm Atlanta time (check the time for you here).

    We are using the Zoom Meeting platform here (not Zoom Webinar as we do for our monthly CoM presentations on the 21st). So for these Sundays socials we will all be able to see each other.

    Upcoming Sessions:

    Sun 28 Apr Alexandre Muñiz  on A Simple Number Repartition Game

    We welcome theme suggestions for the G4G Weekend Socials. Would YOU like to lead such a social, perhaps with a fresh look at a favorite Martin Gardner column (or book)? A magic effect you invented? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.

    All information can be found here.

  • Sunday 28 April Social: A Simple Number Repartition Game

    We define a game where a list of small positive numbers is given, and the goal is to reverse the list. The only moves available are splitting a number in the list into two smaller ones, and combining two numbers into a larger one. With a couple of sensible restrictions on these moves, a wide variety of initial lists result in interesting puzzles. We’ll play with a few individual puzzles and discuss some theory on how puzzles of this type behave.

  • G4G Tributes

    We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes. To share your memories or anecdotes, please email us, support@g4gfoundation.org
