This rules. Also TIL the Petersen graph has *exactly* 2000 spanning trees?

It also had a lot of anti-puzzle rhetoric :(

Oh this one is easy. Have each player hold down one of the buttons, then use /lanparty.

My favorite is when it's a fantasy novel that takes place in an alternate version of the real world, so the map is just "New York" or "the Arabian Peninsula".

Haha, I was trying to remember what I submitted (it hasn't come up for me yet).

King County Routle had a similar one a few months back, rotated about 10 degrees clockwise, but with a very different answer.

I'm at a math conference at Great Wolf Lodge (don't ask me why a math conference is at a water park) and I'm devastated to report that the ranch milkshake is not bad.

Yeah but I'm not going to Greenwood from Judkins Park!

The improvements to my commute are nice and all, but the easy trips to Valhalla Sandwiches are the true game changer.

Absolutely! It's been way too long.

Ah, gotcha. I asked my PT about this once and she was like, “yeah, there a million apps” but didn’t have a specific rec.

This is an incredible exchange.

I'm especially excited because one of the designers was the late Jack Lance, the most brilliantly creative person I've ever known. You can find some of his games and puzzle hunts here: jacklance.github.io/games.html jacoblance.wordpress.com

Heroes of Sokoban was a short free puzzle series I made over a few weekends in 2013. Having it be part of a project with a budget in the tens of millions is, uh, pretty surreal! I'm looking forward to seeing what this team has done with the ideas.

I completely agree with everything Alan says here: the game seems very cool, but I'm bummed about who Jon Blow has become over the years, and it's unfortunate that he's the face of it.

Right, I teach at a large public, and "I have a diagnosis that I need accommodations for, but the first available appointment with the disability resource center is after our first exam" is something I hear every single quarter. It's absurd to think that this process is too easy.

Scholomance by Naomi Novik for sure. I’d also recommend The Incandescent by Emily Tesh and The House on the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune (that one is more cozy than dark though).

This might have some food safety implications but we can deal with those later.

I moved here twelve years ago and felt like everyone had been lying to me. It's like this for half the year, and the rainy months are the lightest rain imaginable.

don't think of this as the american experiment failing, think of it as confirmation of the american null hypothesis
