No, I'm not going to give the entire contents of the back of the shirt. After all, I'm wearing it right now.
So as for yesterday...
Yesterday was the cheating game of Illuminati, Etienne vs Josh vs Svetlana. Naturally there was a lot of paranoia for the rest of the day as to who had access to an Illuminati set and especially to mine, which it was being played with.
Josh had told me to keep my Illuminati set in my backpack on Friday so Etienne couldn't break into my room and get it. I realized he'd be at the meeting all day and didn't bother. I accidentally left my backpack in Stone B50 when getting the shirt, though, and the counselors got a hold of it (and in fact I didn't get it back till after the Infinite Meeting), so Josh was very annoyed that it wasn't in there so he couldn't tamper with it.
What else... oh yeah, we watched episodes 1 through 8 of Midori no Hibi yesterday in the East Lounge, with Fergie periodically stepping to block the Connie and Li-Mei's line of sight. After episode 4 he actually hadn't seen it himself, though, IIRC, so he wasn't sure when to. We took a short break after episode 8, intending to watch the rest, but just then the counselors got back and things just went crazy and he said we'd watch the rest today.
The game itself I didn't stay up to watch. It only started after the Infinite Meeting, after all. And it's a game of Illuminati. Apparently Etienne won because Svetlana kept helping him. Pfah.
So today was the minicourse marathon. Not many people there. The first one was Evan on topology, although instead it was actually about a weird sort of graph which could be put into one-to-one correspondence with the subgroups of F2. Then Josh's lecture on ZFC, which went much slower than he expected, so I really didn't see anything new. Finally Dustin's lecture on Gauss and Jacobi sums. He originally intended to do something on calculus, but apparently he gave out slave time as a prize for actually completing his straightedge-and-compass-construction pset, which Dave Coley did, and made Dustin speak about Gauss and Jacobi sums instead. That was kind of neat. He did another proof of QR.
Say, Josh never did his "How not to prove things" lecture.
