Gaming with Linear Algebra and WZ Hong

My day started off in an interesting way. I made the tactical decision to oversleep till 11 am and quickly ran off to SBO to work on the final report with my team. After an hour or so of our team grinding out Monte Carlo code and writing up the introduction to the report, I went to lunch with WZ Hong and Viktor. 

After lunch, we headed back to SBO to listen to Laurissa’s talk about the video game she created with her sister. The game was about a girl trying to rescue a princess from a dragon. We watched Laurissa play the game as she walked through the various stages and puzzles. I was enlightened by the linear algebra that you could use to solve the in game puzzles(this was my favorite part of the talk btw).

After Laurissa’s talk, I went back to the computer lab to do even more final OD report work before dinner. After dinner, I had another interesting session of OD report work. I continued to write up the report with my team. On a more important note, a hot topic of conversation during the night was William’s showering routine. Taizo and Cam were only two of the many people who were curious about his showering routine.

WZ Hong claims he averages a shower a day. “Absolutely”. We’ll leave it at that.
